Raffles Singapore has been recognised by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) as a Company of Good – 2 Hearts, an honour that celebrates the College’s ongoing commitment to purpose-driven education. The award was conferred on 20 July 2026 at the Company of Good Conference and Conferment in Singapore, where Mr Ong Kai How, Vice President of South East Asia Operations at Raffles Education, accepted the recognition from Mr Suhaimi Zainul-Abidin, Vice Chairman of NVPC.

The award marks a milestone year for the Company of Good movement, which turned ten in 2026. Since its recognition system was refreshed in 2024, NVPC has honoured over 1,000 organisations for embedding purpose across five areas: People, Society, Governance, Environment, and Economic impact. Raffles Singapore’s 2 Hearts status reflects growing, holistic contributions across all five.

The recognition is made more meaningful by good company: industry partner RISIS, the Singapore heritage jewellery brand, has also been honoured by NVPC as a Champion of Good, its highest tier. The two organisations’ partnership was featured in “Empowering with Empathy,” a CNA Brand Studio piece on how real-world industry collaborations shape student learning.

For Raffles Milano, part of the same global Raffles Education network founded in Singapore in 1990, the recognition reinforces a shared philosophy across every campus: that design education works best when it’s grounded in genuine industry partnership and social responsibility.
