PwC Trust Builders Challenge 2021
Rebuild trust in an environmental crisis
Congratulations, winners!
Three teams stood out after a close race on 30 April 2021 to become #PwCTrustBuilders.
Bring on the challenge, virtually!
Duration: 00:00:30
Why join?
The competition will challenge teams to showcase their critical thinking and business acumen by presenting a solution to rebuild trust in business. Sustainable business practices are demanded by investors, customers and the community at large. Reflecting these real business challenges, this year’s case will be anchored on environmental, social and governance (ESG).
Opportunities abound
This year’s challenge will be slightly different than previous years. Besides exciting prizes, we’ve also got workshops, networking and capability-building opportunities waiting for you.
It’s your challenge
You and your team will be deciding on your own solutions. The challenge will test your problem solving skills, teamwork and persuasion skills, too!
A learning experience
Ultimately, we want this to be a good learning experience. We’ve handpicked mentors from within PwC and various industries to help guide you throughout this challenge.
Timeline
The situation
Invest Co, a private equity (PE) firm, is looking to pursue an investment opportunity with a whole foods startup, Full Meal. Full Meal’s philosophy has always been “to make sustainably-sourced food accessible to everyday people.” This has resonated well with the increasingly eco-conscious masses and propelled the company to expand their physical retail operations — in addition to an already thriving online marketplace — across the Asia Pacific region in the last two years.
During Invest Co’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) screening on Full Meal, the PE firm discovered that a number of Full Meal’s poultry suppliers practise industrial farming. Further enquiries with Full Meal’s management revealed that the team knew little about the farms the company was buying from, especially outside of their home market of Malaysia.
