We are honoured to share that Foreword Coffee has been recognised as Singaporeโ€™s awardee at the ASEAN Inclusive Business Awards, presented during the Ninth ASEAN Inclusive Business Forum in Manila, Philippines ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

Foreword Coffee was recognised alongside businesses from across all 11 ASEAN member states that demonstrate how businesses can create meaningful economic opportunities for communities that are often underserved.

A big thank you to RAISE SG for nominating Foreword Coffee for this recognition, and for journeying alongside social enterprises like us as we work towards creating both business and social impact.

Our Co-founder, Nadi Chan, represented Foreword Coffee in Manila to receive the award on behalf of our team.

We look forward to continuing this journey, learning from fellow inclusive businesses across ASEAN, and showing that business growth and social impact can go hand in hand. โ˜•๏ธ

We are thrilled to announce our new space! Weโ€™ve partnered with Procter & Gamble Singapore to establish their in-house cafรฉ that aims to do more than just serve coffeeโ€”itโ€™s about creating genuine employment opportunities for persons with disabilities and special needs within a corporate environment. For the first time, we are expanding our offerings beyond our usual espresso-based drinks to include local favourites like kopi and kaya toast.

Thanks to the support from Procter & Gamble Singapore, this cafรฉ will also serve as a training ground for internships with SPED students, providing them with valuable real-world experience and a pathway to employment with Foreword Coffee. Additionally, we have dedicated space for social enterprises to showcase and sell their merchandise, starting with .gifting as our first featured partner.

This initiative represents a meaningful step towards realizing what inclusive workplaces can look likeโ€”one cup of coffee (and one kaya toast) at a time.
