KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 -- WE Communications has released results from its latest Brands in Motion report, ‘The Bravery Mandate’, with the data exposed escalating tension between expectations for brands to drive stability in a fast-changing, fractured world and heightened skepticism about purpose-washing.
“We’ve reached an inflection point where people are craving businesses to fill the leadership void. To be the driving force of positive societal impact, brands should ask themselves, ‘If not us, who?’ and take bold, brave action,” said WE Communications Global Chief Executive Officer, Melissa Waggener Zorkin. According to a statement, the number of global study respondents saying they expect brands to create stability in uncertain times rose 30 per cent since 2019 — with brands now viewed as important a pillar of society as educators and friend-and-family networks. Despite those rising expectations, brands’ perceived impact for societal good remains flat, with 52 per cent saying that attempts to impact societal issues are anchored in trying to sell more products or services. Consumers and B2B decision-makers are voting with their wallets to measure brand support. Two out of three respondents say they are more likely to purchase or recommend products or services from brands that address societal issues that matter to them. Although two-thirds of survey respondents are open to brands speaking and acting on societal issues, one third are not. Navigating this divide requires active engagement with key stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, customers and community members, to illuminate long-term goals and values. In addition, the Brands in Motion report dug into expectations when it comes to defining and demonstrating brand purpose. It’s clear that expectations are high and at times nuanced — taking a stance on social issues requires agility and long-term commitment. Over the past five years, Brands in Motion global studies have surveyed more than 90,000 consumers and B2B decision-makers worldwide to understand the impact of how perceptions shift over time. -- BERNAMA

Registration is limited to the first 80,000 successful enrolment and is open to Malaysians and permanent residents of Malaysia, aged 21 to 60 years old. They must not hold any Manulife insurance policies to enjoy this coverage.
Successful applicants will receive 90-day free coverage, commencing on the date of successful enrolment confirmation. The coverage will automatically expire after the 90-day period. Since the early days of COVID-19 in Malaysia, our MIB customers have been supported under the RM1 million Special Financial Assistance Programme (SFAP) 1.0 that was launched on 26 February 2020, where policyholders would receive daily income of RM200 upon diagnosis of COVID-19 and Compassionate Benefit of up to RM15,000.

It also presents future growth opportunities for Procore, including capitalising on the companies’ complementary data assets. Procore Founder and CEO Tooey Courtemanche said: “Construction work is hard enough — getting paid shouldn’t be. Levelset helps the construction industry get paid faster, and their offering will be a perfect addition to the Procore platform. “This acquisition will also give Procore access to industry data, including payments and compliance activity, allowing us to deliver valuable risk intelligence to our customers, and to develop innovative financial products.” In construction, the risks and complexity of moving money between stakeholders traps vast sums of critical working capital each year, causing cash stress to contractors, increasing working capital and bonding expenses, and negatively impacting construction jobs. According to a statement, burdensome compliance workflows contribute to the construction industry’s median of 90 days sales outstanding and 74 days payable outstanding, the slowest of all industries surveyed worldwide. Levelset CEO Scott Wolfe Jr said: “Together with Procore, we can further empower the industry to get paid faster, with better visibility and smoother documentation.” Procore has agreed to acquire Levelset for a purchase price of approximately US$500 million, which will consist of approximately US$425 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for working capital, transaction expenses, cash and indebtedness, and approximately US$75 million in Procore common stock. (US$1 = RM4.192) Over one million projects and more than US$1 trillion in construction volume have run on Procore's platform. Headquartered in Carpinteria, California, Procore has offices worldwide. -- BERNAMA |
