The UOB Heartbeat corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme reflects our long-term commitment to enrich lives, to open minds and to strengthen bonds in the communities where we operate. We aim to help create sustainable good and more caring and inclusive societies through our efforts in corporate philanthropy, stakeholder partnerships and employee participation. We focus on three areas which we believe are essential for the quality and progress of society: art, children and education.

UOB China has been hosting annual Heartbeat Run, UOB Group's annual flagship event to raise funds internally for a good cause since 2012. Each year, our colleagues and their family members come together to support children from less privileged backgrounds through sports, donations and charity sales. By 2022, we have raised more than RMB3.6 million through this programme.

We opened UOB Art Gallery at UOB Plaza in Shanghai in November 2018. Since its launch, UOB Art Gallery has been a main channel for us to connect with the local community through art. It is where we showcase UOB's art collection from across Asia, organise art-related events and facilitate cross-cultural dialogue with regional artists. By June 2023, the Gallery has successfully held eight art exhibitions and hosted two artists in residence.
