Lendlease reaches out to communities affected by Covid-19

Singapore

LENDLEASE is lending support to community relief efforts around Covid-19 with targeted support packages for Singapore, China, Japan and Malaysia.

The company is partnering with local community associations to offer a broad range of immediate, mid- to long-term relief measures and capacity building support for post-pandemic recovery and enhancement of community resilience.

Lendlease's CEO Asia, Tony Lombardo, said: "Lendlease places strong emphasis on our culture of care, focusing on the safety, health and well-being of the people in our communities. In the face of what the World Health Organisation has now declared a pandemic, we are committed to banding together with our community partners to build societal resilience and emerge stronger than ever through these challenging times.

"This is a trying time for many vulnerable groups impacted and we need to make every effort to expedite their return to a normal daily life. We hope that our initiatives and contributions will offer relief and comfort to those affected."

Maliki Osman, mayor, South East Community Development Council (CDC), Singapore, said: "During this global pandemic, people's lives are disrupted in many aspects due to the coronavirus. It is heartening to see business partners such as Lendlease and Junior Chamber International Mandarin (JCI Mandarin Singapore) stepping forward and organising themselves to aid the vulnerable in our community.

"At South East CDC, we urge our business partners to extend a helping hand, and I look forward to us winning this battle against the virus together as one united Singapore."
