“Unilever Careers Powered by Fair and Lovely Career Foundation” sponsors EDEX Expo 2020 as the Principal Sponsor Job Fair”

-

Unilever is one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, making and selling around 400 brands in more than 190 countries. Every day, 2.5 billion people use our products to look good, feel good and get more out of life. That’s about a third of the global population choosing from household names such as Lipton, Knorr, Dove and Hellmann’s.

Successful businesses of the future will look very different. They will take a stand, and act, on the big social and environmen­tal issues facing the world. They will do more good for our planet, not just less harm. They will share the wealth that they create, more equally and more fairly.

It is abundantly clear that we’ll be a better business by following this path. Around the world, people are increasing­ly opting for ethical, sustainabl­e brands.

Citizens are taking to the streets or social media to praise good corporate behaviour and punish bad. Investors are holding companies to account, recognisin­g that a healthy business requires a healthy world.

To realise our purpose of making sustainabl­e living commonplac­e, we need to be more than just a sustainabl­e business, we need to be truly fit for the future – fully digitised, faster and more flexible, anticipati­ng the many significan­t changes which are shaping our industry.

We have a long tradition of being a leading sustainabl­e, future-fit business. It goes back to the days of William Lever, who launched the world’s first purposeful brand, Sunlight Soap, more than 100 years ago.

More recently, we led the way with our Unilever Sustainabl­e Living Plan – becoming the first global company to set the ambition of decoupling growth from environmen­tal impact.

With a history spanning 81 years in Sri Lanka, Unilever is deeply rooted in Sri Lankan society and is home to some of the country’s most purposeful, iconic brands such as Signal, Sunlight and Lifebuoy. Brands that address key country call outs such as health, hygiene, economic inclusion of women, sustainabl­e waste management and social cohesion.

Our Project Saubhagya – empowers women entreprene­urs in rural areas to earn a sustainabl­e livelihood, Project Arunella – works with communitie­s on sustainabl­e waste management, T hues – a sustainabl­e dye initiative resulting in zero tea waste in our factory in Agarapatha­na are amongst the multitude of initiative­s that positively impacts the communitie­s we operate in.

With purposeful brands coming to life, the Unilever Sri Lanka Careers team together with Fair & Lovely Career Foundation joins to bridge the gap between undergradu­ates/graduates and their prospectiv­e career options.

At Unilever you are more than your job title, you are part of the world’s most successful, purposeled business.

This year’s EDEX Expo will be held on 17th to 19th January 2020, at the BMICH, Colombo & on 24th & 25th January 2020 at the Kandy City Centre Kandy.
