< PreviousAYDA Awards NIPSEA Group's AYDA Awards is a prestigious interior design and architectural competition in Asia that fosters global stakeholder relationships, promotes sustainable design, and encourages collaboration among designers. The Awards go beyond transactional interactions to build personal relationships with stakeholders and differentiate the brand from competitors. It extends to employee volunteers, who develop a sense of purpose and teamwork by working towards a common goal. Since 2008, the goal of the AYDA Awards is to inspire budding designers to design sustainably and contribute to global issues and engage with stakeholders. Through this initiative, we hope to inspire and encourage designers to create designs that serve a relevant cause in societies globally. The Awards are executed in 15 countries and regions, with Gold Winners representing their country at the AYDA International Finale and competing for a coveted Design Discovery Programme with Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. The AYDA Awards provide a platform for networking and collaboration among designers in Asia, fostering greater synergy in the design industry. In 2022, over 5,314 budding designers have been inspired to use their skills for positive impact, while more than 140 professionals have gained fresh ideas from the future generation of designers through the Awards. Overall, the AYDA Awards have proven to be a successful initiative that contributes to the growth of NIPSEA Group and the development of the design industry, inspiring designers, promoting sustainability and building meaningful stakeholder relationships INVESTED OVER $900,000 66,000 LIVES IMPACTED MORE THAN Global Educational Programme 40Countries and Regions Involved Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Turkiye, and Vietnam TOTAL PROJECT EXECUTION COST USD $925,547.17 NO.

We want to support our paint masters, make them feel that we are with them on special occasions, and meet their wishes and needs. As part of Betek Boya’s initiative, we selected 5,000 of the most engaged painters in Turkiye and sent them food packages for Ramadan in March 2022. On top of food packages, we also sent 1,500 Filli Boya painters’ children education packages, which were obtained at a 50% discount sponsored by Betek Boya. Not only did we hope to increase their loyalty and love for our brand, but we also wanted to support their children and send a heart-warming message that “we are a big family, and your children are my concern too”.

We aim to inject art and colour into people's lives while nurturing the beauty of rural areas through murals. To achieve this goal, we invite mural artists and designers from all over the world to create murals in cities and schools in rural areas with a focus on childcare and animal protection. To ensure the smooth implementation of the project, we carefully select 10-15 walls in Shanghai and Chengdu and negotiate with the government in advance. In 2022, we completed 14 murals in these cities, bringing joy and beauty to the citizens. We are delighted that the project has received recognition from the party media, which has enhanced our branding impact. Additionally, since the development of ART+, we have received an overwhelming response from mural artists and designers who are eager to join Colour Way of Love. Our charity partners have also grown, making the project more impactful. OVER INVESTED $140,000 OVER HOURS COMMITTED 4,300 TOTAL PROJECT EXECUTION COST USD NO. OF HOURS COMMITTED NO.

The project is in line with our brand's values of sharing, caring for the disadvantaged, creating joy, and refreshing life. The project was carried out in a halfway house for people with disabilities that had been in disrepair for a long time, affecting the health of the occupants. Nippon Paint Taiwan contacted the unit to propose the renovation idea and sponsored 100 litres of paint and painting tools to teach them to paint and build a better home together. It took four weekends from preparation to completion, with a total of 25 manpower, to complete the painting of four exterior walls and five interior walls. This initiative conveys that Nippon Paint is committed to improving the living conditions of people with disabilities. This project has also created awareness about our products. Many houses in the traditional community are over 40 years old, and the inquiries we received through this project demonstrate that there is a market for our products in this segment.

As the official paint partner for painting life-size fibreglass tigers, our partnership (with Temenggong Artists, WWF and Chinatown organisers) has enabled us to use our products and branding to support this important cause. By showcasing these beautifully painted tigers, we have successfully drawn the attention and focus of the general masses to the plight and challenges of extinction faced by tigers in today's environment of urban development, climate change, and human exploitation. Nippon Paint Pakistan collaborated with the renowned Japanese artist Mr. Kensuke Miyazaki in creating a mural that promotes the theme of safety, protection, and hope. The mural, located next to the National Institute of Child Health in Karachi, features a green sea turtle with eggs surrounded by colourful flowers and people, conveying the message that these future children will grow up to fulfil their dreams and bring happiness to all. Moreover, the collaboration has also provided a valuable opportunity for young artists to learn from a master and participate in creating a historical piece of art.
