Health Promoting Malls

With consumers today becoming more knowledgeable and increasingly conscious of the importance of staying healthy, there is a growing demand for various products, services and activities that help them lead a healthier lifestyle. 

Close to the hearts of many Singapore residents, the shopping mall is often the go-to-place where people buy their necessities, have a meal or catch up with friends. Hence, there is great potential for mall operators to offer healthier lifestyle options to their shoppers and we believe these will be warmly received.

Through the Health Promoting Mall Programme, we partner mall operators to help them identify opportunities where they can promote products, services and organise activities that improve the health and well-being of the local community. These include:

  • Regular mall workout sessions led by fitness instructors
  • Healthier dining options at the food courts and restaurants
  • Products endorsed with the Healthier Choice Symbol at the supermarkets
  • Professional advice at the pharmacies to help a loved one quit smoking
Our support for Health Promoting Mall partners

We provide support for participating malls through the following ways:

  • Endorsement of campaigns, events, activities, marketing materials and other initiatives that help promote healthy living with the Health Promoting Mall logo
  • Listing on our website and other publicity materials
  • Participation in our marketing campaigns, programmes, events, media features and other initiatives

Fitness event at Paya Lebar Square

Being part of the Health Promoting Mall programme had allowed us to create a healthy lifestyle environment for our customers. Besides a dining and shopping destination, Paya Lebar Square has also become a platform for friends to bond and unwind by sweating out together. It has also created immense convenience to our office tenants who could have their workout right at their office’s doorstep!
