In an era where the raison d’être of brands transcends mere profit, modern businesses are embracing a common-good ethos—championing sustainability, client empowerment, mutual support, ethics, and values that propel impactful positive change. At the forefront of cultivating this culture of stewardship stands Brands for Good, a non-profit organisation with a decade-long legacy dedicated to forging strategic partnerships and implementing transformative programmes that drive community empowerment.
Visionary Leadership and Clear Mission
Brands for Good operates with a straightforward yet powerful vision—a future where businesses thrive while making meaningful contributions to societal and environmental well-being. Anchored in conscious leadership and ethical standards, this vision guides the organisation as a moral compass through the dynamic landscape of its operations.
Transformative Programmes and Initiatives
The organisation substantiates its vision through a range of impactful programmes. At its core, Brands for Good recognise brands for their positive contributions to the world, with award categories spanning “Business for Good,” “Leadership for Good,” “Technology for Good,” “Capital for Good,” and “Culture for Good.” Complemented by regular workshops, seminars, and thought leadership initiatives, Brands for Good actively engages in bi-annual closed-door dialogues with ministers. A standout initiative is the Accelerated Leadership in Sustainability (ALS) Programme—a collaborative effort with the Singapore Institute of Management, aimed at equipping leaders with the skills and knowledge essential for sustainability.
Ambitious Yet Realistic Targets
Brands for Good sets ambitious yet achievable targets. For 2024, the organisation aims to recognize 500 brands, garner support from 1,500 community pledgers, and positively impact a workforce of approximately 100,000 individuals. Looking further ahead, the three-year roadmap outlines goals of impacting over 1 million lives and empowering more than 5,000 businesses and organisations. The firm commitment to these targets has yielded impressive results, with accomplishments by end-2023 including the recognition of 163 brands, 448 company pledges, and empowerment of 778 companies.
Strategic Partnerships for Greater Impact
Optimistic about the future, Brands for Good envisions milestones and breakthroughs in 2024 through strategic partnerships with five key players: Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM), Automation SG, HonourSG, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), and International IP Commercialisation Council (IIPCC). These alliances with visionary partners signify an expanded reach for Brands for Good, fostering increased support for their advocacy and, ultimately, benefiting more workers through community empowerment.
