Samsui Supply and Services: Blending Business with Social Impact

Delivering more than meals: Samsui Supply and Services drives change in the heart of Singapore.

Samsui Supply and Services, a Soup Restaurant Group Limited subsidiary, is renowned in Singapore for its dedication to social responsibility and innovative food services. Since its founding in 2013, Samsui has excelled in the food service industry and made significant strides in corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Commitment to Inclusive Employment

One of the core components of Samsui's CSR efforts is its inclusive employment strategy. The company provides job opportunities to differently-abled individuals and marginalised groups, ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. This approach not only enhances the lives of its employees but also enriches the company culture with varied perspectives and ideas.

Sustainable Food Production

Operating two central kitchens, one at Enabling Village and another within the Changi Prison facility, Samsui is committed to sustainable food production. These kitchens are pivotal in minimising waste and maximising efficiency, aligning with the company's environmental goals.

Through their flagship project, Samsui Central Kitchen, they provide 1.8 million meals annually to long-term care facilities in Singapore.

Meals-On-Wheels Program

Partnering with Touch Community, Samsui plays a crucial role in the Meals-On-Wheels program, delivering nutritious and tasty meals to several thousand beneficiaries daily. This program is vital in supporting the dietary needs of Singapore's elderly and disabled populations.

Upskilling and Training Initiatives

Through the VentureForGood grant, Samsui employs and trains beneficiaries to prepare high-quality dim sum for 5-star hotels. This initiative is a part of their broader goal to enhance employability and skills among Singapore's marginalised communities, preparing them for more significant opportunities within the hospitality sector.

Community Engagement and Partnerships

Samsui actively engages in community development through various initiatives, including workshops and sessions organised by raiSE-organised Breakfast Meet sessions and Industry Circles. These contribute to the growth and development of other social enterprises. Samsui also collaborates extensively with government agencies and other social enterprises, expanding its impact and fostering a supportive network for social welfare. Through their flagship project, Samsui Central Kitchen, they provide 1.8 million meals annually to long-term care facilities in Singapore, showcasing their dedication to social welfare.

Recognitions and Awards

In 2019, Samsui's dedication to its community and environmental efforts was recognised when it received the 'Social Enterprise of the Year' award at the President's Challenge Social Enterprise Award. This accolade underscores its effective CSR strategies and significant impact on the community.

Samsui Supply and Services exemplifies how a business can successfully integrate profitability with substantial social impact, setting a benchmark in CSR for the food service industry.
