Strait Lights Honoured as a Company of Good - 2 Hearts by NVPC

We are thrilled to share that Strait Lights has been recognised as a Company of Good - 2 Hearts by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). This honour reflects our wholehearted commitment to making a meaningful impact across People, Society, Governance, Environment and Economic dimensions - pillars that have always guided us in how we design, operate and serve.

What this recognition means

NVPC’s Company of Good framework celebrates organisations doing more than business: those with purpose, integrity and a positive influence on communities and the planet. Being awarded 2 Hearts highlights that Strait Lights is moving strongly along this journey - not just in words but in real action.

It means:

• Our efforts in governance, transparency and ethical practice are being recognised

• Our commitment to environmental responsibility - from material choices to carbon measurement & offsetting - is seen and valued

• Our economic model built on giving back, creating opportunity and treating business as a force for good is making a difference

• Our people-first and society-forward mindset, especially supporting women’s empowerment and crafting with care, is making impact

How Strait Lights’ Mission & Vision Aligns

At Strait Lights we believe business can - and should - be a force for good. Every purchase is more than a transaction. Your support helps:

• Empower women through creativity: We partner with vetted projects via B1G1 to support women in the region - through training, resources, entrepreneurship and creative skills.

• Run ethically & sustainably: Choosing better materials, ensuring transparency, offsetting carbon emissions and minimizing environmental footprint.

• Celebrate place & belonging through design: Our collections are inspired by Singapore’s neighbourhoods, its street corners and its everyday detail. We craft lifestyle objects that evoke connection & meaning.

This recognition from NVPC underscores that we are not just aspiring towards these values - you, our customers and community, have helped make them real.

A Thank You to Our Community

This is in many ways your award too. Without your support - choosing designs that speak of local stories; caring about origin, ethics and impact - these efforts would remain ideas not outcomes.

The Road Ahead

While we celebrate this milestone we know our journey continues. We are inspired to:

• deepen our impacts in under-served communities, especially empowering more women

• further reduce our environmental footprint

• refine practices of transparency and meaningful governance

• keep creating objects that carry story, meaning and belonging

We are deeply honoured by NVPC’s recognition.
