For this week’s episode of Start Somewhere, I’m so overjoyed to introduce you to my former colleague, the extraordinary Karen Hamilton. Karen is Unilever’s Global Vice President of Sustainability. She works with Unilever’s leading brands, such as Dove, Lifebuoy, Rexona and Sunsilk, to bring their purpose to life and embed sustainability into product innovation.
Following a career in business and marketing, Karen moved to sustainability to spearhead the creation of Unilever’s groundbreaking Sustainable Living Plan. It was then she established an evidence-based commercial case for the benefits of sustainability, demonstrating how it drives growth and trust while reducing risk and cost.
In this episode, we hear about how Karen’s Scandinavian roots influenced her early interest in sustainability, how Unilever is leading the charge in committing to business for good, and what we can all learn from being good to people and planet.
The ask: Wherever you work, try to set an ambitious north star. It’s what will get people out of bed in the morning. Think about how your business can embrace a more equitable and sustainable future in a way that also drives greater success.
