Unilever wins Energy Global Awards

JAKARTA: PT Unilever Indonesia, the local arm of the global
consumer products giant, has received an International Energy
Global Award in the Water category in recognition of its
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The company said in its press release that its social program
in Surabaya -- which is conducted through the Unilever Peduli
Foundation and has empowered residents of four villages along
Brantas river to implement waste management since 2000 -- was one
of 700 programs submitted to the awards committee.

The Austria-based awards committee has handed over awards in
five categories: Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Youth. The Energy
Globe Awards 2005 handing over ceremony will take place in March
at the International Environmental Technology Fair 2006 in
Vancouver, Canada.

Unilever is the first Indonesian company to be given an
International Energy Global Award since the awards were initiated
five years ago. -- JP
