From now onwards, DBS Hong Kong’s frontline employees will wear a new casual uniform on Fridays and Saturdays. The uniform not only presents a younger and energetic yet professional look, but also serves as one of the ways to embed environmentally friendly elements and sustainability in every aspect of our business.
Featuring stylish colour-blocking inspired by the bank’s brand palette, the polo shirts are made from a sustainable fibre mix of organic cotton and recycled polyester. The organic cotton is grown and processed without pesticides or other harmful chemicals, and optimises resource use to achieve a smaller carbon footprint. The polyester utilises post-consumer plastic bottles, thereby reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in the landfill. Since 2020, our branch suits have also been made from our signature eco-friendly fabric, with 65% recycled polyester and 35% polyester blend. Approximately seven plastic bottles are recycled in the construction of each garment.
DBS leads the way by constantly transforming itself beyond what is expected of a bank, and challenging traditional notions of what a bank should be, enabling customers to have more time to enjoy life and seize new opportunities. We are proud to represent our future-oriented ethos through our upgraded uniforms. As a purpose-driven bank, DBS will continue to further our sustainability agenda in every possible way.
