ARA has been busy establishing its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. The group makes donations, and since 2008 works with Mr John Lim's own philanthropic organisation, the Lim Hoon Foundation, to give out bond-free scholarships to financially strapped students who meet the admissions criteria of universities like SMU. ?They are free to come back to work for ARA after graduation if they want to, but if they want to move on to work somewhere else, that is also fine. But throughout the period of their study, we engage them...? John Lim is the group CEO of ARA Asset Management. He is also the Outstanding CEO of the year for this year's Singapore Business Awards.
