Making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work is an integral part of Nielsen’s culture. By donating time, skills and expertise through pro bono projects, skills-based and hands-on volunteering through our global volunteer program, Nielsen Cares, as well as sustainability initiatives through Nielsen Green, our associates are helping to solve some of the most critical social and environmental challenges. Even after leaving the company, many of our associates continue enriching their communities in meaningful ways.
Maintaining a connection with our alumni is also part of our DNA. Many of them lead and contribute to a variety of successful organizations around the world. Our alumni serve as important business connectors, brand ambassadors, talent magnets and knowledge sharers for Nielsen. And since 2016, we’ve been able to connect our alumni together through the Nielsen Alumni Network.
Bereits zum zweiten Mal in Folge zeichnen wir mit dem Nielsen Alumni Social Impact Award Alumni aus, die sich über das übliche Maß hinaus in ihren Gemeinden engagieren - insbesondere in den Bereichen Hunger und Ernährung, Technologie, Bildung, Vielfalt und Integration sowie nachhaltige Geschäftspraktiken und Umweltschutz.
Associates and alumni will have the opportunity to nominate alumni for this unique distinction through Sept. 17, 2018. The award recipient will be announced during Nielsen Alumni Week, Oct. 1 – 5, 2018, our company’s global flagship celebration of former associates. Both the award recipient and the nominator will receive donations to their charities of choice from Nielsen.
Letztes Jahr wurde Ramona Liberoff zur ersten Preisträgerin ernannt. Ramona war von 2012 bis 2014 SVP unserer Innovation Practice in London und setzte sich für unser globales Freiwilligenprogramm Nielsen Cares in ganz Europa ein. Nach ihrem Ausscheiden bei Nielsen wurde Ramona CEO von SPRING Accelerator, einem Beschleuniger für wachstumsstarke und wirkungsvolle Unternehmen in Ostafrika und Südasien, von dem mehr als 200.000 heranwachsende Mädchen profitieren und der die Rentabilität und Nachhaltigkeit in den Bereichen Technologie, Gesundheitsversorgung, Bildung, Energie und Landwirtschaft verbessert. In jüngster Zeit war sie als COO des Innogy Innovation Hub tätig, der in Start-ups investiert und diese fördert, die die Zukunft der globalen Energiebranche gestalten werden.
Ramona chose to direct Nielsen’s donation as part of her award to the Fawcett Society, the U.K.’s leading charity fighting for gender equality and women’s rights. The Fawcett Society campaigns under the themes of money, power and gender stereotypes, with a vision for a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential, creating a stronger, happier, better future for us all.
