NielsenIQ (NIQ) was recently awarded the highest accolade, the Champion of Good, by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) in Singapore, recognizing the company’s exceptional commitment to corporate social responsibility and its positive impact on the community.
This prestigious award honors organizations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to corporate social responsibility and positive impact on the community. NIQ Singapore was evaluated based on its performance across five key areas: People, Society, Governance, Environment, and Economic impact.
“This recognition honors our associates’ dedication to volunteering their time and skills and fostering an inclusive culture,” said Jada Han, Director, Regional Client Business Partner. “It’s a proud moment for our team as we continue to drive positive change in our community.”
“Receiving the Champion of Good award is a testament to NIQ Singapore’s unwavering commitment to creating a positive impact,” said Craig Houliston, Regional Executive Director of Asia Regional Analytics & Insights at NIQ. “We are honored to be recognized for our efforts and look forward to sharing our learnings with other markets.”
Future plans as a Champion of Good
While NIQ Singapore will proudly hold the Champion of Good title for the next three years, the company plans to leverage this recognition as a catalyst for further positive impact. The NIQ Singapore team intends to share best practices and learnings from its Inclusion and Impact Team with other markets to expand the social impact driven by NIQ. Further, the team expressed a commitment to building upon this success by strengthening partnerships and driving greater impact within NIQ and the broader community.
NIQ Singapore’s path to Champion of Good
NVPC’s Company of Good initiative aims to recognize the contributions of organizations in Singapore for their commitment at the national level to corporate purpose and impact in the People, Society, Governance, Environment and Economic dimensions.
Large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises (including social enterprises), and public service agencies can receive recognition as “Companies of Good.” These recognitions include the highest accolade, “Champion of Good,” as well as designations such as “Company of Good – 3 Hearts,” “Company of Good – 2 Hearts,” and “Company of Good – 1 Heart.”
NIQ’s recognition as a Champion of Good was the result of a comprehensive evaluation process involving a 55-question form to understand policies, practices, quantitative indicators, target setting and external stakeholder engagement. This is then followed up by an interview and a final stage of presenting to a panel of esteemed NVPC senior management and business leaders.
