Siloso Beach Resort has spent nearly two decades building a workforce that includes persons with disabilities
The Sentosa resort has picked up inclusive hiring and environmental awards in nine of the last fifteen years, including the top tier of Singapore’s Enabling Employer Awards and an SME category win at the ASEAN Business Awards.
Siloso Beach Resort, an independently run resort on Sentosa, is small enough to compete in award categories set aside specifically for small and medium enterprises, and has done so repeatedly. In 2012 it won Most Admired ASEAN Enterprise in the Corporate Social Responsibility category, reserved for SMEs, at the ASEAN Business Awards.
The resort’s own account of its sustainability record lists employment of persons with disabilities as a key focus dating back to when it opened in 2006. That work was recognised in 2019 with the Leader Award, the highest tier of Singapore’s Enabling Employer Awards, given for hiring and retaining employees with disabilities, following an Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Award in 2017.
The resort’s self reported award history runs well beyond disability employment. It includes Top Achiever in the Singapore Environment Achievement Awards in 2010, a President’s Award for the Environment in 2013, Top Achiever in the Singapore Sustainability Award in 2011, and, most recently, Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification in 2025. Sustained recognition across both social and environmental categories over nearly two decades is unusual for a business this size, where Corporate Social Responsibility work typically competes for attention with day to day operations rather than a dedicated foundation.
