This is an initiative of ASEAN CSR Network and the ASEAN Business Advisory Council. Both are ASEAN Entities. The proposal for establishing this network to promote responsible and inclusive business activities was jointly tabled at the 50th ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting on 30th August 2018.In collaboration with Brands For Good, we invite businesses who believe that being responsible and inclusive in word and action are the 21st century’s cornerstones of commercial success, to join us to connect and collaborate with other like-minded businesses in ASEAN.The ARAIBA vision describes the future that we want to create and that future that we are working towards is A WORLD WHERE BUSINESSES DO WELL BY DOING GOOD. We want to create a world where being a responsible and inclusive business is the reason that companies become successful because that will create a world that has a powerful and positive impact on the triple bottom-line of Profit, People and Planet. >> The Brands For Good movement, jointly organised by IPOS Society, International Intellectual Property Commercialisation Council (IIPCC) Singapore and CEO Asia, recognises local businesses committed to making a difference and celebrates the positive impact they have created. Held virtually last year, the third edition of the Brands For Good awards presented a total of 25 awards to small and medium-sized enterprises. The winners, selected from among 80 applicants, were honoured in three categories: Leadership For Good (a new category for change makers who lead by example), Business For Good and Technology For Good.Applicants were assessed by a panel of 15 judges according to their social impact, mission and values, accountability and transparency, stakeholder engagement, profit and growth.
