Unilever has a simple but clear purpose – to make sustainable living commonplace.

This vision has initiated the Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Award, to recognise support brilliant young innovators, tackling the planet’s biggest environmental and social challenges, and to help them achieve scale for impact.

Having reached over 5,800  inspiring young sustainability entrepreneurs, the programme has been on top gear since its launch in 2013. Spanning from simple solutions with far-reaching impacts for child nutrition, to groundbreaking technologies that cut greenhouse emissions.

Following the trail to creating a sustainable future, Unilever has once again called for the application of competent candidates for the Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Awards 2019.
