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.
特に飢餓と栄養、テクノロジー、教育、多様性と包括性、持続可能なビジネス慣行と環境保全の分野において、地域社会で卓越した貢献をしている卒業生を、ニールセン・アルムナイ・ソーシャル・インパクト・アワードとして2年連続で表彰します。
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.
昨年は、ラモーナ・リベロフが第1回受賞者に選ばれました。ラモーナは2012年から2014年までロンドンのイノベーション・プラクティスのSVPを務め、ヨーロッパ全域でニールセン・ケアのグローバル・ボランティア・プログラムを推進しました。ニールセンを退社後、ラモーナは東アフリカと南アジアにおける高成長かつインパクトのあるビジネスのためのゲームチェンジャー的アクセラレーターであるSPRING AcceleratorのCEOに就任し、20万人以上の思春期の少女に恩恵を与え、テクノロジー、ヘルスケア、教育、エネルギー、農業における収益性と持続可能性を改善しました。最近では、イノジー・イノベーション・ハブのCOOを務め、世界のエネルギー産業の未来を形成する新興企業への投資と促進を行っている。
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.
