Corporate Social Responsibility at SMRT

SMRT’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy aims to strengthen bonds with our stakeholders and make a positive impact on our communities. We're committed to supporting sustainable development within SMRT while giving back to society and fostering an inclusive community.  

Our CSR initiatives, which centre around philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy, address three pillars:  

  • Enabling mobility  
  • Empowering through arts and education 
  • Encouraging environmental sustainability  

Through these pillars, we regularly contribute over S$1 million in cash and in-kind sponsorships to support Social Service Agencies (SSAs) and improve the lives of their beneficiaries.

Tap For Hope, a cherished annual drive since 2021, is SMRT's signature CSR event, as part of our commitment to the annual President’s Challenge.


In its fifth edition, Tap For Hope 2025 kicked off with Ms Sun Xueling, Senior Minister of State at the Ministry of National Development and the Ministry of Transport, making the first donation at Stellar@TE2, in Woodlands MRT station. From 14 November 2025 to 16 January 2026, we set up donation stands at eight MRT stations and two bus interchanges, allowing commuters to contribute easily via EZ-Link cards, major e-wallets, and PayNow. 


In line with this year’s President’s Challenge focus on creating sustained impact, SPD—a local charity dedicated to empowering persons with disabilities—has been named the principal beneficiary of the funds raised. The contributions will support SPD’s ongoing efforts to empower its beneficiaries. Tap For Hope is part of a broader initiative that embodies SMRT’s vision of ‘Moving People, Enhancing Lifestyles,’ striving to ensure that no one is left behind on the journey toward a compassionate society where everyone belongs.

Nodes at SMRT, a joint initiative with the National Library Board (NLB), promotes knowledge-filled journeys during daily commutes. QR codes displayed at selected MRT train station platforms and bus interchanges lead to NLB's extensive collection of e-resources, including e-magazines, e-books, and captivating YouTube videos.  


This partnership transforms public transport spaces into vibrant learning hubs, aligning with SMRT's commitment to community well-being.

The SMRT Green Learning Trail is a transformative eco-experience developed in collaboration with Green Nudge. Supported by the SG Eco Fund, this 1 hour 45-minute guided walking trail explores sustainable public transportation evolution and community-driven green initiatives in Woodlands. 


Led by passionate Green Nudge guides, this trail takes participants on a journey through the eco-features embedded within the Woodlands Integrated Transport Hub (WITH) before exploring community initiatives in the vicinity. The programme aims to nurture eco-awareness, highlighting the pivotal role of our multi-modal transport system in combating climate change and steering us towards a car-lite future.
