DBS Foundation Supports Vulnerable Communities' Economic Development for Sustainable Impact

Jakarta – Bank DBS continues to intensify its efforts in realising its vision to be the Best Bank for a Better World through three main pillars: “Responsible Banking, Responsible Business Practices and Impact Beyond Banking”.

DBS’s commitment is implemented by promoting sustainable business development with positive social and environmental impacts, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Head of DBS Foundation, Karen Ngui stated that DBS, established in 1968 in Singapore, is committed to advancing the principle of “doing well by doing good” in business development. DBS ensures its role as a financing solutions provider to drive growth in the financial and business sectors while delivering positive environmental impact.

Through the DBS Foundation, efforts are promoted to provide value and social impact, including to vulnerable communities, which is important to drive national economic growth. This approach positions the organisation not only to achieve profitability and returns, but also to play a role in developing community economics and human welfare.

The DBS Foundation’s role and challenges in helping address vulnerable communities’ issues in driving sustainable growth were discussed in detail during Power Lunch on CNBC Indonesia (Friday, 27 February 2026).
