APPLY FOR UNILEVER YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS AWARDS

We are living in a world where temperatures are rising, water shortages are more frequent, food supplies are increasingly scarce and the gap between rich and poor is increasing. Populations are growing fast, making basic hygiene and sanitation even more of a challenge. We can overcome these challenges and build a bright future for everyone, if we work together. But to do this, the world needs a plan.
Against this backdrop, Unilever launches the ‘Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Awards for 2017’, in partnership with The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and, in collaboration with Ashoka to support, inspire, reward and collaborate with a new generation of the world’s most brilliant young change makers; innovators who are the future of sustainability. These Awards are all about supporting and celebrating inspirational young people from all over the world with existing initiatives, products or services that are tackling some of the planet’s biggest sustainability challenges. These Awards recognise 18 to 35 year olds who are putting ideas into action.
At Unilever, we have a clear purpose: to make sustainable living commonplace. We see a big opportunity to support, inspire, reward and collaborate with a new generation of the world’s most brilliant young change-makers – innovators who are the future of sustainable growth.
