Living through a pandemic that typically hits once in a lifetime, 2022 has been a year of true self-reflection for Acclaim. We look back and appreciate all that has happened in the Acclaim world post-pandemic in 2022.
In today’s competitive business landscape in the pursuit for profits being busy with our daily work tasks, taking the time for self-reflection is an activity that is overlooked by many. The pandemic has brought upon the opportunity for the Acclaim members to look back on each of our contributions, how have we impacted the people around us, our clients, the organization and more importantly the society at large.
On 15 November 2022, Singapore International Chamber of Commerce organized an event called “The Power of Purpose-driven Business”. Chairman and Founder of Acclaim, Mr Anthony Lim was invited to the panel of speakers alongside Mr Abel Ariza, President of Malaysia and Singapore for Sodexo, as well as Mr Tony Soh, Chief Executive Officer of the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Center (NVPC) and moderator Sunitha Chalam, Partner, Brunswick Group.
The event highlighted that being purposeful beyond profit increases competitiveness, improves morale and talent retention and enables business to be positively impactful. Mr Lim shared positively about Acclaim’s ethos of “Purpose Beyond Profit”, and how Acclaim has been supporting financially-challenged deserving youth undergoing their tertiary education. Acclaim currently supports 6 youth since 2016, and more in the years to come via the Acclaim Heartware Education Fund (AHEF) as a vehicle in our way of doing good and giving back to society.
