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.
我们将连续第二年颁发尼尔森校友社会影响力奖，以表彰那些在其所在社区做出卓越贡献的校友，尤其是在饥饿与营养、技术、教育、多样性与包容性以及可持续商业实践和环境保护等领域。
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.
去年，雷蒙娜-利伯洛夫（Ramona Liberoff）被评为首届获奖者。2012年至2014年，雷蒙娜在伦敦担任尼尔森创新业务高级副总裁，在整个欧洲倡导 "尼尔森关爱"（Nielsen Cares）全球志愿服务项目。离开尼尔森后，Ramona 成为了 SPRING Accelerator 的首席执行官。SPRING Accelerator 是一个改变游戏规则的加速器，面向东非和南亚的高增长和高影响力企业，惠及 20 多万名少女，并提高了技术、医疗保健、教育、能源和农业领域的盈利能力和可持续性。最近，她还担任了 Innogy 创新中心的首席运营官，负责投资和加速初创企业的发展，这些企业将成为全球能源行业的未来。
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.
