The panel of judges commended the Group's branding management strategy and decision making system in particular.
NWS Holdings has established a distinguished brand management system. Through proactive and effective brand management strategies, the Group endeavors to project a positive and consistent image and ensure its member companies can adhere to the Group's corporate image. Upon the completion of reorganization in 2003, the Group has issued the Corporate Communication Handbook in which the Corporate Identity System and Corporate Style Guide ensure a high level of consistency in editorial style throughout the Group and provide member companies effective brand strategies. In 2005, the Group has also launched its brand new corporate song sung by staff members from various member companies, aiming to promote its diversified businesses, service excellence and employer brand.
The Group also strives to uphold corporate governance in order to enhance its corporate brand. To maintain the goodwill of the Group, Corporate Governance Steering Committee has been established to formulate relevant policies to ensure related rules and regulations are fully complied by staff and member companies. NWS Holdings also believes that a successful brand very much hinges on its commitment in corporate social responsibility. As such, Corporate Social Responsibility Committee has been set up under the Board of Directors to oversee the Group's strategies and development on corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, the Group has set up NWS Holdings Charities Foundation to expand the scope of community engagement.
Dr Cheng Kar Shun, Henry, Chairman of NWS Holdings, said, "We are honoured to receive this award. The Group believes that corporate image is a significant element to enhance its competitiveness. Looking forward, the Group will continue to establish a world class brand and nurture total integrity."
