Unilever to further invest in Vietnam: CEO
Unilever will continue to invest in Vietnam, where it has its two plants, its CEO, Alan Jope, who is currently visiting HCMC, has said.
The UK-based consumer goods company would invest not only in production but also development of brands and people, he noted.
Since most of the company’s output in Vietnam is sold locally, it does not see the country as a low-cost production base for export.
Speaking about sustainability, he said the easiest way is to reduce energy consumption through investment in new machinery and lighting systems.
Firms should not think it is a choice between good business and ethics because ethical businesses could also be good ones, he said.
