Retail Asia Awards

Our vision at Daraz is to become a champion of South Asia that serves the needs of a hundred million customers and businesses by 2030. So, these awards- they tell me that we are on the right track and I’m just delighted to know that our initiatives are being positively received both by our customers and by our sellers. The awards will also be a huge encouragement to our almost ten thousand employees across the region who’ve worked so hard to get us here.

We are extremely glad to be recognised by Retail Asia magazine. We will continue to strive for innovation and are committed to serve the community and our customers. In addition, Retail Asia magazine is one of the most influential media in the Southeast Asia retail market. Winning the three awards will certainly help Dmall get more recognition globally.

From Eu Yan Sang Singapore, we are really humbled and honored to be awarded Singapore’s International Retailer of the Year award, as we know that this award recognises companies that have sound strategic direction that are innovative and have achievement in their business. This award is a testament of our strategic efforts and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the team for their hard work.

I think it is a really great endorsement for the team that has worked so hard as well as the partners that we’ve worked with, like I’ve mentioned: Singapore Land Authority, the Tourism Board folks, together with NTUC, and all the local entrepreneur brands- I think that it just means that we are doing something right and we would like to continue to do that. We are forces of conviction and commitment in this concept and we hope that we can continue to do more.

It means a lot. This past year, it hasn't been easy on anyone. We had to fight, we had to adapt. This award is a great testament to that. It also shows the progress we’ve made in Asia as a company over the past two years- the ability we have to serve our clients, deliver solutions, and the strength of our teams. It also shows that there’s an appreciation and demand for more sustainability to be incorporated in physical retail spaces and we at ITAB, we really hope that we could be a part of driving sustainability within retailer stores and showrooms in the future as well.

This win is a testament to the efforts and the amazing team behind the scenes, working hard to deliver for our customers and it also reflects the trust placed in us by customers. With these awards comes great responsibility to continue to strive towards improving the quality of life for our nation every step of the way and we believe this recognition will inspire us to do so.

Our teams’ ability to adapt and always prioritize the customers’ needs and the experience overall has been great and I feel that this is just for everyone at Koala- for being able to get through this past year. From the heart, it really means a lot- so, thank you. I’m honoured to accept this award on behalf of Koala.

I feel really honoured to have been awarded this Retail Asia- Retailer of the Year Award, it's truly fantastic for us to win the latter. I'd like to thank my team, it's really recognition for them across all the countries on which we operate. We're really honoured and privileged to be recognized in this way. I feel so pleased for the entire team. They worked so hard and they've done such amazing work throughout this period of time. I think for everybody who is involved in this success in Kmart for the last 12 months, I was really pleased for all of them that with this recognition, through this award.

A big thank you to Retail Asia for this award and for all the hardwork and effort that Retail Asia has put in to organize this event, to celebrate retailers across the region especially in challenging times like this. To receive this award, the Omnichannel Strategy of the Year for Singapore is a huge honour for KrisShop, given such challenging times in the past year where we have lost most of our traditional business. This award is a testament to the KrisShop's team efforts, resilience and passion in driving the bond forward despite difficult times… This is a huge motivation for us in difficult times like this. Stronger wins help us soar higher. In times like this, we will continue to invest in areas to improve ourselves. There is such much for us to do. This is for the team, the team will be motivated by the fact that we have recognition. Thank you very much for this award. It has given us a strong boost in times like this when we need it.

On behalf of 50,000 colleagues, we would like to express our thanks to Retail Asia for this recognition. The award is a testament to the different hardwork and dedication of our team especially this year where it has been challenging due to the quick spread of COVID-19. 2021 has also been a very exciting year for us, as we are in the midst of rebranding Lotus. We are committed to provide great products and services at affordable prices, bringing innovations and technology to enhance our customer shopping experience in the years to come. We're honoured to receive the award. Our team has been working very hard to serve our customers in this difficult time. The success of this award will be celebrated across the organization. We are also hoping to encourage us to offer more to the market and bring in the latest innovation to enhance our customer shopping experience.

We are honoured and proud to receive the two awards on behalf of our passionate and creative team that worked really hard to make that a truly unique concept. In Majid Futtaim, our pursuit of excellence is relentless and our focus to remain relevant and continue our growth journey is quite important so we continue making sure that we are fit for preference and we are able to remain relevant for the challenging and evolving landscape or the overall market that we exist in. It means a lot for us to win those two awards. I am quite humbled. It is really an affirmation that we are in the right direction. It distinguishes and recognises all the hours and days of planning, thinking, and execution of bringing that excellence. It is quite a nice appreciation for the team who worked hard, to make sure that we bring the best and raise the bar of what retail should be.

A big thank you to all our team who were connected to each other and to build this chain very quickly. We are really proud to get this nomination. We are the first retailer in Uzbekistan who won and it is really big for us. Thanks to all the people who are working in our company, who helped us to reach this target to become the best domestic chain in the country. It will be in our portfolio, in all our stores, the stickers that we are the best in the market.

We are delighted to receive the award for Singapore's Hypermarket of the Year. It is a testimony of the commitment and hard work by our team and the trust accorded to us by consumers. As a progressive retailer, we will continue to innovate and serve the needs of our community while keeping prices and supply of daily essentials stable for our customers. 

We are honoured to receive the award for CSR Initiative of the Year. This award goes to our staff especially our frontliners for the working commitment in serving the needs of the community amidst pandemic. It is a great honour that I received this award on behalf of team Fairprice. I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to all the stakeholders who came together to build this store against all odds, especially in the midst of a pandemic. We are grateful for this recognition. We will continue to work hard to serve our communities.

Receiving this award provides validation that our hard work and teamwork and perseverance as a team during these challenging times has truly paid off and further boosts Don Don Donki’s teams’ determination to continue beating any future hurdles that come in our way. We are truly grateful in receiving these awards and rest assured that Don Don Donki will continue to strive in providing our customers the best shopping experience. 

We are thrilled and grateful to be recognized by Retail Asia Awards for our efforts to optimize online retail and the supply chain through innovation and technology. The award is an endorsement of our pioneering C2M model

The Retail Asia Awards are prestigious. Once we were recognized, we’re honoured and humbled to receive them. Winning three awards is a milestone we are all proud of. These awards are a reflection of our journey in the past few years and the developments we’ve made in the business based on the team’s honest intentions and agile actions. These awards will aspire to the quality of thinking, in the organization, and planning. On behalf of Sharjah Coop, we must thank our customers, businesses, government partners, and again, we thank Retail Asia again once more.

I think it’s validation of three years of incredibly hard work. The concept, from the sheet of paper three years ago, to what we have now- it proves that we took the right course. We’re recognized as one of the industry leaders in innovation and I think the award for the digital campaign was probably one of the most inspiring things for us because what started as an alternative campaign because of COVID and to try to use social media influencers (Instagram, Google) was innovative and good. The Supermarket of the Year was nice, I cannot deny, I think the disruption of the digital campaign was a very, very pleasant surprise, but I think, well worthy.

For me, this is validation of the team’s efforts, validation of our franchisee’s efforts, and validation of our frontline workers many of whom fronted up during the heart of COVID, they kept serving our customers, they kept delivering their personally rewarding experience, and they were the ones who are able to deliver our promise. To see that as a brand that has reached wide across Asia, to be recognised for that will instill a lot of pride in the team and give us even more energy to double-down in our growth into the future.

It means a lot. We don’t go out in search of awards- we work hard every single day to deliver great customer experiences, but when we get recognition and for Retail Asia magazine to recognise our efforts- it’s really humbling and uplifting. It is kind of a pat on the back for all our hard work we’ve been doing for the last eighteen months and years before that to get into this moment, but it is just a pat on the back. We need to keep going every single day and delivering that quality experience to our customers, but it’s nice to get that pat on the back and that recognition, so, thank you very much

I think it’s a reward for the team, it’s something as a recognition. For us, it’s a big recognition. The first time it was announced and sent out to us, your email, I think everyone was screaming, yelling, (happy), laughing, and they are full of joy because their hard work has been recognised. I think, it’s just not just any individual, but every single one from operations, from store design, from the construction team, to the marketing, to the merchandisers, and how we operate today also today is very different from before as well and even our suppliers, our vendors, they all say that this is the Best Mall and they feel they are so proud to be part of The Mall Lifestores.

These awards tell us that we are fulfilling our mission to help our customers look good, do good, and feel great. We want to thank Retail Asia for this award and for this affirmation. We are going to be inspired to push forward with all our initiatives with all of these awards. The times ahead will remain challenging, but we know that if we listen closely to our customers, and Watsons, colleagues, partners, like Retail Asia, we will be able to respond to these needs of our customers with agility as we continue to serve them better.

It’s a great honour for me to accept the Retail Asia Award on behalf of UNIQLO. We have truly appreciated getting recognised with this achievement. I’d like to thank the Retail Asia Awards team for organizing the awards, the judging committee for their trust in our brand, to our team and stakeholders of UNIQLO for their commitment, as well as our UNIQLO fans for their support through the years. To immerse as Singapore’s Apparel Retailer of the Year is very heartening for all of us.

It’s a wonderful and great recognition of our efforts over the past fifteen years, so, we are honoured to receive the award. We believe that we’ll be able to work with even more cosmetic brands and also assist them to reach a much wider audience in many of the customers in many of the countries, so, we are very delighted to receive the award.

Winning the Retail Asia Awards of 2022 is more than an accolade for us. It is a recognition of the collaborative effort that we have made in the past two years. This award is an acknowledgement of the hard work and perseverance of the whole SM Group. Our corporate partners, our national and local government partners, our MSMEs tenant partners, employees, agency frontliners, the volunteers and even our shoppers help each other foster and nurture partnerships together and bounce back stronger than ever in the most difficult moments in our history.

This marks an important milestone for Swarovski in our global plus local campaign strategy. I’d like to thank everyone from the team that made this possible. Going forward we will continue to create thoughtful and engaging brand campaigns, and empower customers to celebrate their own unique self-expression. It’s a real testament to Swarovski’s efforts to build brand awareness in one of our key focus markets in the region and Swarovski has a very long history of passion, creativity, and innovation.

The award means a lot to us and to the whole team. It's a great recognition. A lot of hard work has been going into building our Omnichannel platform. And now basically, that really is a great recognition of that. And I think it will energize the whole team across Asia pacific.

It is an honour to be a part of this prestigious event along with the region’s best retailers. I believe that we have always been operating as a regional retailer in our region. So, finally, we have some international recognition and attention from an international organisation like Retail Asia. It is a new milestone in our journey and we are really happy and pleased to be a part of this prestigious award.”

We are deeply honoured to receive the title of the Marketing Initiative of the Year this year at the Retail Asia Awards. On behalf of Sino Group, I would like to thank Disney+ being our strategic partner and our other working partners, and our colleagues in Sino Group. Without their contribution, hard work, and creativity, we would not have been able to achieve this interesting and successful campaign. The award is a testament to our team’s aspiration for excellence and the efforts of the business opportunity that we try our best to create for our retail tenants. The recognition motivates us to strive for continuous improvement and win-win cooperation with our strategic partners and our tenants. We are inspired to work even harder to provide a greater experience to our customers and the general public to visit and spend in our Sino Malls.

It’s a tremendous feeling to win this award. It’s a recognition that some of the work that we’re been doing is below the radar, not every customer or employee sees what we’re doing, but there’s recognition here for the work that we’re putting in. I think it’s proof that our Smiles programme does deliver value and does have a benefit, and it’s appreciated. It’s a way of thanking all those employees that put their time and effort into this programme to deliver smiles to needy communities. So, we’re very grateful for the recognition that Retail Asia gave us and we will share this with everyone in the organisation.

On behalf of Ace Hardware Philippines, I’d like to thank Retail Asia for this award. We are deeply honoured by this recognition. We thank our customers, in the Philippines, who have given Ace the opportunity to provide home improvement solutions that best meet their needs. Finally, we thank all our ACE team members, especially those on the front lines who have made this possible- they truly embody our promise of “Ace, the helpful place. This affirms that we are on the right path in bringing to life our mission of “Ace, the helpful place”. Ace Hardware is celebrating its 25th year in the Philippines, this award coming at a milestone year sets a high bar of excellence for us to sustain. This inspires us to keep on innovating to deliver better solutions and better experiences to our customers in the next 25 years and beyond.

It’s an affirmation that we’re doing something right. The teamwork is alive despite the challenges presented by the remote working set-up. We are only as strong as our people, so all the credit goes to the amazing teams working on transforming our processes and spearheading innovations to better serve our customers. At the same time, this reminds us that we can never fall into complacency because there is still so much we can do and bring to the table. All the winners in this year’s awards also inspire us to keep getting better at what we do. We owe it to our customers who continue to patronise our brands and to our fellow countrymen to give them something to be proud of.

It means a lot to us. It’s a terrific recognition of everyone’s efforts in Mannings. A launched campaign of this size is only possible with everyone’s help and efforts. We talked today about product developments, product design, and marketing, but in fact, this launch would not have happened without the magic of the supply chain especially during COVID, without our store team members who really love our products, and also take pride in them. So, it’s the whole team coming together and taking ownership of the launch and of the products to make this happen, and since that is the case,  this award is really a team effort and a team win. So, it means a lot to us. Thank you so much for recognising that.

It’s a great honour to receive the Retail Asia award. ELISE is still a young and growing company, but I think that as we receive this award- it marks as a milestone that we are truly the #1 women fashion company in Vietnam, not just in terms of store counts and sales, but also in quality. I would like to thank our loyal customers who have supported ELISE in the past 10 years, and also the employees and the suppliers, who have worked hard to make this happen.

This means so much to us. Winning this again in this year’s Retail Asia Awards is indeed a testament of how we bring our mission to life. This award reassures that we are doing the right thing and we are able to meet our consumers’ evergrowing and changing needs and demands. We treat this both as an accomplishment, really, and as a challenge to us that we need to keep getting better everyday at what we do for our customers.

Thank you so much for this opportunity and many thanks to Retail Asia Awards team for this recognition. We are very happy for winning the Marketing Initiative of the Year award at the 17th Retail Asia Awards, thank you so much for that. Winning the Retail Asia award gave us the acknowledgement that we are on the right track and doing the right thing as we are still in our beginning of the Mall of Dilmunia.”

We are really honoured to receive the award. These 3 awards really show appreciation to our commitment in the retail business in Indonesia. I really would like to thank Retail Asia and, also to thank, our supplier partners that helped us to be in this position. Our customers that has always been very loyal to us and all the stakeholders especially our shareholders that put full trust on us. We thought that our serious and continuous commitment to do business and develop the community to bring a better service to our customers, to keep on improving ourselves has been giving us results. In addition to the trust given to us, it’s also becoming a challenge for us to be a better retailer in the future and win more awards in the Retail Asia Awards.

This is a huge, huge, validation of all the hard work and the commitment of the 7,000 Pharmacity members and we’re so, so, grateful. It’s an incredible feeling. We look at the past winners and to be in that company is such an honour. This is an endorsement of our vision to protect the health and wellbeing of Vietnamese families, and it’s so motivating for us to work even harder this year to meet our customers’ needs and to win again if we can. We’re so honoured and it’s such a huge validation. It motivates us to work harder.

I would like to thank the Retail Asia Awards committee for recognising exceptional achievements in retail. Given how challenging last year has been, this is a testament to the efforts and resilience displayed by the amazing team at Keell’s to serve customers. We are truly humbled and honoured by recognition this award bestows on us and the responsibility it brings to continue to improve the quality of life for the nation. This win, I believe, is a testament to the efforts of an amazing team behind the scenes, working hard to deliver for our customers and also a reflection of the trust placed in us by our loyal customers. This recognition will strengthen our resolve to strive harder to be more relevant to our customers amidst of volatile and challenging economic environment.

Extremely, extremely, thankful and it means a lot because while you do all this, the objective for the brand is to make a fairer and more beautiful world and that is what we stand for as we say that whatever we do and if we are able to contribute to the betterment of this world, I think that is what is more important to the brand and that is what the brand stands for. Thank you so much to the Retail Awards team for recognising The Body Shop India for their incredible efforts.

We are extremely humbled and honoured to receive this award. It has been almost a year since we opened the BEAUTIQUE store at Jewel Changi Airport and we’ve seen very positive responses from our customers, both online and offline. In today's digital world, I think customers pursue beyond a pure brick-and-mortar or online shopping experience. It is this inspiration that gave birth to Boutique, our first-ever omnichannel multi-brand beauty boutique in collaboration with Estee Lauder Companies. It is recognition to ourselves, our partners and my team for all the contributions and because of which we will continue to deliver more inspiration and innovation to our customers.

It’s basically the mark on the milestone/achievement that whatever we did in the past will be received by the customers and that is the most important thing because in Lotus’s we always take our customer at the heart of doing everything and we’re committed to doing those great initiatives and collaborations with our partner to become one of the greatest and on the top of the customer’s mind.

This award goes to all the AEON warriors that have fought very hard during this COVID-19. In this war of 2 years or more, we have to reflect on ourselves and I ask myself: “What are the 3 things that we should be thinking about?”. Many of us would see differently.  Number one, have we lost everything after COVID? Number two, did we just survive COVID? Number three, did we really learn something and win? And here, I chose to represent the whole company of AEON’s ecosystem, we are really grateful that we are here today- alive and living. To those warriors who have lost their lives or even been infected by COVID, we need to be better at contributing to the ecosystem of the community, not only in Malaysia but everywhere in the world. Be grateful.

Thank you so much! We are very honoured to receive two awards from Retail Asia Awards. This is the second year that we have won the Retail Asia Awards. Firstly, we would like to thank our customers and partners for their trust in DMALL and their unwavering commitment to digital transformations which have enabled us to work together to achieve great results. Secondly, we would like to thank our team for overcoming the difficulties and achieving outstanding results in 2021 despite the many constraints. Finally, we would like to thank Retail Asia magazine for  recognising DMALL’s achievements and prospects in helping brick-and-mortar retailers transform digitally.

Thank you so much Retail Asia Awards for naming us Marketing Initiative of the Year for our 10th anniversary campaign dubbed “Tentasic Birthday”, a feat that would have not been possible without the collective effort of our entire team as well as our brand and industry partners whom we hold at the highest regard. Celebrating a decade since the emergence of this region; it’s a special win and it’s even more special because it’s ten years with all that has happened and I’m so, so, honoured to be accepting this award on behalf of Zalora. I hope we can deliver on our commitment to the region by being the fashion and the lifestyle e-commerce destination in all the decades to come. It really reminds us and motivates us that Zalora is a household name across the region for being leaders in fashion and lifestyle. It also validates our efforts to provide shoppers with authentic products by high quality, local, and international brands- a very, very optimal and convenient shopping experience where you just need to be where you are and it will reach you. We are really honoured and grateful for this. We will take this in high regard and a driving force that we continuously raise our bar for fashion and lifestyle e-commerce. This is not the first, this is not the last, we will be there and we will make sure you keep seeing us a lot more as we strive to leaders and we are leaders.

It’s an absolute honour for this. This means that every hard work that our team put into creating the campaign and making the expansions possible are being recognised and appreciated.

We’re so proud and I just like to personally thank my team, my shareholders in the company, the upper management that supported this endeavour, and of course, the hard work and the teamwork from the people that put it all together. This was a very unique situation, we were in an adversity situation. We were able to turn around a mall that was struggling into something that we are really proud of during the time of COVID- to do this kind of thing and show this innovation and passion reflects very well on the company. Innovation is really part of what we do. So, we would like to thank you guys again for this award. It’s a very proud moment for our group.

It means a lot to be recognised by Retail Asia magazine. It’s surreal, the feeling of winning this award because it is an acknowledgement of all the hard work the team has done. It has been really difficult but we persevered and we are here today. I think it is also an affirmation of the trust that our customers, our local SMEs, and our business partners have put in for Fairprice Marketplace. We have this opportunity right now to not only bring them the Fairprice that they have been used to but, but the Fairprice Marketplace that they deserve.

It’s a big honour for Etaily to receive so much trust and recognition for what we are doing in shaping the retail industry in Southeast Asia in our context here in the Philippines. Thank you Retail Asia Awards for honouring our work with Philippine retailer, Landmark, and giving us recognition. It is a great honour for our company and we thank our partners, our team members, as well as our investors for their commitment, hard work and contribution as we continue to evolve and scale up our business locally as well as regionally. Most of all we would like to thank Landmark for partnering with us to digitise their storefronts and upgrade their retail operations.
