UOB and the SG Eco Fund have announced a two-year partnership to enhance community awareness of sustainability through art. This collaboration aims to integrate environmental consciousness into daily life using creative visuals and educational initiatives.
The Green Mosaic programme, part of UOB’s 90th-anniversary activities, includes three main initiatives: creating green murals at five community spaces in Singapore, conducting sustainability literacy workshops, and organizing engagement sessions between UOB clients and SG Eco Fund grant recipients.
“UOB is pleased to partner the SG Eco Fund to foster environmental stewardship among the community through art and education,” said Mr. Eric Lim, Chief Sustainability Officer at UOB. “This partnership reflects UOB’s commitment to doing right by the environment and our communities as the Bank celebrates its 90th anniversary.”
Ms. Phua Mei Pin, Trust Secretary of the SG Eco Fund, added: “By combining UOB’s extensive network with our community-focused approach, we aim to amplify the impact of ground-up initiatives.”
The Green Mosaic Programme launched its first mural titled “A New Day” at the Brickland Green Festival 2025. Created by artist Mr. Abu Jalal Sarimon with over 120 volunteers, this mural promotes sustainable living and human-wildlife coexistence.
“A New Day” is one of five murals that will be crafted in collaboration with residents and students from institutions like Singapore Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic. These murals are intended to inspire sustainable practices within communities.
UOB continues its efforts to make art accessible through various programs including its flagship art competition, UOB Painting of the Year.
