This award recognises the organisation’s success in integrating the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs) into their design and procurement processes, and implementing the opportunities identified.

The parent company, Cerebos Pacific Limited, is based in Singapore and is wholly owned by Suntory Limited, a Japanese global food and beverage group. Commitment to Sustainable Design Since joining the Covenant in mid-2000, Cerebos has progressively improved its packaging decision-making processes in order to reduce environmental impacts and create business efficiencies. Cerebos has an ongoing commitment to minimise the environmental impact arising from packaging by continuing to pursue their specific performance goals of Design, Recycling and Product Stewardship.

When a lipid emulsion was intravenously injected into mice, 20 hr restraint stress prolonged the elimination of plasma triglyceride (TG). The results indicated that lipid metabolism was defi- nitely disrupted by stress, and that the use of TG as an energy source decreased. The plasma TG level was 320 ± 27 mg/dl 35 min after Intralipid® administration in restrained mice, while it was 253 ± 23 mg/dl in the restrained mice that were given 5 ml/kg of BEC. The improved plasma lipid metabolism was well explained by the finding that lipoprotein lipase in omental adipose tissue was remarkably improved by BEC. Our study shows that BEC improves metabolic dysfunction possibly by utilizing plasma lipids as energy sources and elevating lipoprotein lipase activity reduced by stress.

Each single dot on its own is meaningless. But seen together, the dots form a larger picture that captures the artist’s vision. Like the pointillist, the internal auditor produces a slew of recommendations and insights from his work across the organization. Each one may seem insignificant. But seen as a whole, the internal auditor’s work comes together to help the organization achieve its objectives and realize its vision. The board and the management receive assurance that the organization’s processes and controls are sound and robust through the internal auditor’s testing and evaluation. Stakeholders’ concerns about strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks are alleviated by up-to-date information gathered and communicated by the internal auditor. Constantly working on the ground, the internal auditor acts as the eyes and ears of the shareholders. While internal audit may be viewed as costly, the larger picture that emerges is that the function adds value to the organization through its independent, objective assurance and consulting activities, governed by the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) comprising standards promulgated by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
