Valuing Our Employees

Recruiting individuals for their talent is only the first step.

To achieve this, we provide differentiated employee experiences, including learning and development, rewards and recognition, and a work-life balance.

Sustainability at DBS means being purpose-driven, and taking a balanced approach while making real impact for real people. Building on our heritage as the former Development Bank of Singapore, and POSB’s mission as the “People’s Bank”, we have continued to reinvent ourselves, leveraging on our strengths in digitalisation and innovation to strive towards being a more sustainable bank.

We are focused on three main areas of action:

Responsible Banking

Responsible Business Practices

Creating Social Impact

To truly make a difference, we believe in creating measurable impact, underpinned by robust governance. The DBS approach to sustainability is guided by six of the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were chosen according to where we believe we can make the most impactful contributions.
