What is Unilever Leadership Actions on Sustainability

Unilever Leadership Actions on Sustainability is a local program initiated by Unilever Indonesia and Faculty of Economics University of Indonesia. The program seeks to trigger young leaders to take actions based on sustainability principles by addressing various problems around their community. We are hoping to develop young minds that are not only capable of identifying problems in their community but also take the lead in triggering the change for the better. This is a unique program that focused on developing leaders of tomorrow through direct engagement with leaders,and comprehensive training on leadership and program management. Through the program, shortlisted participants can engage directly with actors from various backgrounds to provide them with multiple perspectives. This will help them in developing their ideas and making it a reality. Through the engagement we also want to facilitate the network building among our leaders today and the leaders of tomorrow. Our goal is to help young leaders to turn their creative ideas into real actions. Top 10 Teams will have to implement their project with full support from Unilever Indonesia and Faculty of Economics University of Indonesia. We will be providing mentors to help each team realize the potential in them and in their project. It is our hope that the participants will be able to reach out to larger society and become the trigger for a better and sustainable society. Sustainability is the key, to achieve that we believe small sustainable actions can create a big differences.
