The DBS Giving Tree
8This season, we're aiming to take away waste, rather than add waste to society, with our festive decorations.
See how DBS Corporate Real Estate worked with Edible Garden City and Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) to close the loop for a circular economy with the DBS Giving Tree.
The tree is made from upcycled wood and its decor is created entirely with sustainable materials, much of which is in fact edible.
But the materials' life cycle continues. In January, all trees will be transformed into Chinese New Year decorations, and eventually, turned into office furniture.
We call it the Giving Tree because on top of representing our efforts to give back to the planet, we will be giving away the decor from all of these trees in our Singapore offices to our colleagues.
