Our 2nd guest on the #ChangeMaker series is a founder who left a cushy job in banking to start a #SocialEnterprise as a vehicle of change, creating healthy snacks and doing good from the get-go.
The social entrepreneur is Walter Oh, co-founder of boxgreen.
Not a stranger to the #startup scene, Walter Oh is one of the EDGE - Youth Wing of ACE 35 Under 35 (2020) and he was part of the Startup Grind Singapore team. In recent years, he has been advising and investing in #sustainability and #socialimpact startups. ๐ย
Giving back has always been the mission for boxgreen. Empowering the lives of marginalised communities such as the ex-offenders and single mothers, co-founders Walter Oh and Andrew Lim are among the DBS Bank Foundation Fellows. In the early years, they also garnered support from raiSE SG, NVPC - Towards a City of Good, and Yellow Ribbon to tide through the waves. ๐๐ผ
Building a positive and inclusive work culture, boxgreen is awarded the 2021 Singapore Best Workplaces Award and certified a Great Place To Workยฎ Singapore. With a spirit of giving back, the team also volunteers at Willing Hearts ๐ and The Social Kitchen!ย
