Singtel Sustainability Report 2010/2011
 
 
Responsible marketing
We have identified marketing communications (marcom) as a key touchpoint that drives customer experience. As part of the overall exercise to improve customer experience, leading indicators of marcom such as complaint rates, campaign effectiveness, share of voice and brand appeal are monitored on a monthly basis. Monthly surveys are also conducted to track customers' feedback on awareness and comprehension of our advertising messages.

Marcom is guided by the Customer Experience Steering Committee, chaired by Executive Vice President (EVP) Digital Consumer. The VP of Consumer Marketing sits in the Committee.

We ensure compliance with the law and constantly review industry standards and voluntary codes to adopt relevant guidelines and programmes. Our marketing practices are also aligned with guidelines by the IDA, such as the Premium Rate Services Code.

We keep abreast of the latest developments in the industry through relevant associations and institutions. During the year, the Director of Segment Marketing and Marcom from our Consumer Marketing group was appointed to serve as an Executive Council Member of the Institute of Advertising Singapore (IAS).

We use recycled or FSC paper to print 90% of our marketing materials for Business Group - far exceeding our target of 30%. We also make strategic use of our digital assets, such as our websites and in-store interactive screens, to promote our services, thus cutting down on printed marketing collateral.
Responsible selling
We are committed to an honest and pleasant buying experience for our customers.

Our people working at Singtel Retail Shops are trained to inform customers about contract terms prior to signing any agreement, especially penalties involved due to early termination requests by customers. In addition, customers are requested to acknowledge and confirm the products and services provided in the Service Agreement before submission.

  All mobile phones that we sell come with at least a one-year manufacturer warranty. For Value-Added Services (VAS) that are offered free for a limited period with new sign-ups, our customers enjoy peace of mind as we
will advise them via SMS when the promotion period ends, giving them the option to subscribe the VAS at a fee.

Our revamped online store singtelshop.com highlights the Terms and Conditions in the FAQ of the landing page.
