Since 1966, Prince’s has evolved around society’s environmental and social needs toward sustainable progress and development.

In relation to this commitment, we have built certain programs as part of our social responsibility. Currently, we are engaged in:

The Older workforce who are in their retirement age are given the opportunity to contribute to society’s growth, allowing them to work flexible hours.

By giving job opportunities to ex-offenders, they are given the chance to create change and make a difference. They will be able to divert their efforts into improving their lives, thus reducing their likelihood of re-offending.
- Employment of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)
PWDs: Make Good Dependable Employee
Prince’s has started its collaboration with several social enterprise organization (Delta Senior School, SG Enable, and The Society for the Physically Disabled [SPD]) etc. since 2007, where we have provided opportunities and upgrades in various aspects such as Horticultural and Administrative training.
For instance, we have put up a Horticulture Training Program for students from Delta Senior School, took part in the Job Re-design Project wherein we continuously develop a program for Effective Strategies in Teaching PWDs, and created an active mentorship program where we provide Excellent Employee Awards to productive students.
Besides providing training to PWDs, Prince’s have assessed the workplace and ensure that the place is safe for all PWDs before they are recruited for the role.
At Prince’s we do not only utilize their capacity in the comfort of our nursery. We also integrate our PWDs in our project sites. It is proven that despite their limitations, they are fully capable of horticulture works such as watering, pruning, weeding, and other tasks. Given the right training and mentorship, our PWDs can help contribute to the progress of both the company and the industry as a whole.
The strong support and participation of various organizations enabled us to recruit and assist PWDs to realize their full potential in the landscape industry.
With this effort, we can assure that PWDs’ performance may be even matched up to normal workers. This is also a good avenue for them to serve and work with the public.
