The International Brilliance Awards recognise the best in Internal Communications, Marketing & PR, Human Resources and Business, and celebrates brilliance among corporations in a range of fields.

2021 will be remembered as a year in business unlike any other. Living through the second year of the pandemic, the team at bant.io has continued to deliver and shine. These awards represent the opportunity to take pause and appreciate that the added value delivered by the bant.io  team to their clients has been recognised as the best of the best in this prestigious awards programme. With a record entry, the field was stronger than ever. While the team is deeply touched to have won the Silver award in International Business and the Top Brilliance award in Customer Service, they have expressed that they are most proud of their Founder and CEO, Andrei Breaz, to have won Entrepreneur of the Year. “He is such a great leader, we are so happy that he is being recognized for all that he has achieved and led us to achieve,” said Catalina Cismaru, Director of Campaign Management.

Hosted by Kareen Griffiths, from Calmify, the judges remarked on clear evidence of best practice creativity. Judges also repeatedly praised the winning entries on clear objectives, based on deep research and understanding of the challenges, coupled with good strategy, excellent measurement, and fantastic feedback.

“Speaking on behalf of the entire bant.io team, we are thrilled and delighted to have won three International Brilliance Awards,” said Andrei Breaz, CEO. “Winning an award of any kind is always to be celebrated, but to pick up three at the end of one of the most challenging years on record serves as testament to the resilience and can-do attitude of the bant.io team. We continuously strive to deliver excellence for our clients – and we do – but being acknowledged for our brilliance is a great feeling. We’re looking forward to 2022, where the team will continue on our upward trajectory.”

“What a way to end the year – but it’s a great way to focus all of our minds on the year ahead,” adds Jaclyn Curtis, COO. “I would like to congratulate the team on a stellar performance at the Brilliance Awards and to say how pleased and proud I am that their achievements have been recognised. We’re ready for 2022 and all that it brings. The Awards will help us to grow, taking our clients along with us.”

Organized by Singapore-based Pinnacle Group International, the Global CSR Awards recognize innovations across 16 corporate social responsibility (CSR) categories, including environmental protection, community empowerment, gender equality and workplace diversity. More than 100 global and regional brands submitted some 350 entries for this year’s awards.

Mowilex won three 2021 Global CSR Awards, standing out among companies with a market capitalization of US$500 million to $1 billion.

“These awards validate Mowilex’s commitment to being an ethical and contemporary market leader, both within Indonesia and globally,” says Mowilex Indonesia CEO Niko Safavi.

“We’re Indonesia’s only CarbonNeutral®-certified manufacturing company. We voluntarily introduced lead-free paints two years ahead of United Nations goals. We took bold steps to help community members during the pandemic. Through our comprehensive environmental, social and governance [ESG] efforts, Mowilex works incredibly hard to protect the planet, manage resources, fight poverty and provide opportunities for all.”

Best Workplace Practices: Platinum

Mowilex won its first Best Workplace Practices Award thanks in part to its ground-breaking pandemic response.

Managers established a COVID-19 Emergency Response Team in March 2020. Mowilex teams produced and donated 16,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, 26,000 face masks and 14,000 medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE) items. The company paid the full salaries of all its employees, even during pandemic shutdowns. Employees received COVID-19 test kits from Abbott Laboratories, a global testing leader, and regular testing, self-assessments and vaccination rate monitoring continue.

At the same time, volunteer employees distributed staple foods to underserved families near Mowilex facilities.

Mowilex also welcomed over 1,200 members of its workforce to professional development programs in 2020 alone. More than 100 took part in Lean Six Sigma training, while the first Mowilex Future Leaders program drew more than 15,000 applicants. Meanwhile, a performance-based bonus structure rewarded salespeople with up to 18 months of wages.

CSR Leadership Award: Gold

Mowilex earned its Gold CSR Leadership Award one year after winning for environmental excellence and its hindari (avoid), kurangi (reduce), imbangi (offset) sustainability strategy.

In September, Mowilex launched Mowilex Pasti Aman (Safe and Sure With Mowilex), a four-month voluntary replacement program to remove old Mowilex lead paint from stores. Shops and distributors across Indonesia receive free products when they return Mowilex formulas manufactured before 2019, the year the company began its lead-free transition.

Mowilex also renewed its CarbonNeutral® certification in 2020, following rigorous Natural Capital Partners standards. To reach carbon neutrality, the company invests in offset projects that promote biodiversity and support sustainable economic development in places such as the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve in Kalimantan. Mowilex is planting 50,000 carbon-trapping mangrove trees together with Indonesia’s Environment and Forestry Ministry, and it funded a Natural Capital Partners offset project that installed 170,000 small-scale biogas plants across Vietnam.

Best CEO Award: Platinum

Safavi, who stepped into his post as CEO in 2019, earned platinum honors in the 2021 Best Chief Executive Officer category. He has brought positive changes to the company through his strategic planning and vision, employee development efforts, and digital and cultural transformation initiatives. He is working to attract new talent, promote inclusivity and diversity, empower women, decrease employee turnover and ensure fair employee rewards and recognition while also continuing shareholders’ sustainability commitments.

Under Safavi’s leadership, Mowilex is expanding with a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Tangerang, Banten.

“I received this award because there is no ‘Best Management Team’ category. I couldn’t manage this company without the support and dedication of my talented colleagues. We create innovative, high-quality products and build customer trust as a team, and we lead with comprehensive ESG campaigns that benefit Indonesia and the wider region,” Safavi said.

Pinnacle Group International director Melvin Chan noted that Mowilex’s CSR programs were well structured and executed, and, in large part, reflective of the strong leadership and support by the company’s CEO and management team.

“The programs have a clear vision and measure for long-lasting change. The organization’s staff is well resourced, highly trained and engaged with stakeholders in the community,” he said.

WATERLOO, Ontario, Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — illumiSonics Inc., a medical tissue imaging company, announced today the appointment of Jochen Schweizer as COO. The company is further strengthening the executive team as they commercialize their cancer detection and diagnostics products using the proprietary PARS imaging platform technology.

Mr. Schweizer previously held executive positions at Danaher/Leica, responsible for the Microsurgery Portfolio in the business unit medical, defining strategy, target portfolio and product roadmap; was Sr. Director Product Management Light Microscopy at Carl Zeiss (Shanghai) Co. Ltd; and prior to that had technical management roles at SVS-VISTEK GmbH and Stemmer Imaging.

“Mr. Schweizer brings his extensive and world class experience in the field of optical imaging to illumiSonics. This happens at a critical time as we are developing our first product to market. Besides his knowledge and experience, Mr. Schweizer shares essential values with the rest of the team, he is passionate for making a positive change to our society. We are fortunate to have him in our team,” said Dr. Parsin Haji Reza Chairman.

“Mr. Schweizer’s rich commercialization history in micro-surgery, sales, product management and software development will add significant depth to the team as we enable cancer surgeons and pathologists to get direct to digital pathology during surgery, preventing second surgeries due to positive surgical margins,” said Rocky Ganske CEO.

“I am excited to join a young, highly skilled and engaged team, to realize the full potential of Photo Acoustic Remote Sensing (PARS), and to make a positive impact on the health system. We will completely change the 100-year-old histo-pathology workflow and drive the transition of cancer diagnostics from a day/week workflow into intraoperative diagnostics. PARS from illumiSonics enables the acquisition of H&E stained histo-pathology images in a few minutes: contact free, without tissue preparation, without staining, without microscope – right in the operation room. We do that for better patient outcomes, enhanced efficiency in the OR and reduced health-care costs.” said Jochen Schweizer.

illumiSonics’ proprietary PARS photoacoustic remote sensing technology is a revolution in optical imaging. illumiSonics created PARS, a non-contact, high-resolution, label-free, non-destructive reflection-mode microscope. PARS captures all three light-matter interactions (scattering, absorption, and emission) to give unprecedented 3D images of fresh and living tissues, which provides incredible flexibility in how it can be deployed.
