However, far too often young people, and particularly adolescent girls and young women, face barriers to realizing their possibilities and participating fully and equally in society. At Sunsilk we have made it our mission to open up possibilities and expand girls’ and young women’s horizons—to assist girls and young women in exploring and, through exploration, meeting people who inspire them to dream bigger, dream differently, and turn their dreams into reality. This paper, written in partnership with the International Center for Research on Women, describes the rationale for Sunsilk’s strategy and reviews the global evidence that guides and shapes its goals. It also serves to expand knowledge about the innovative strategies Sunsilk is using to open up possibilities for girls. To open up possibilities for girls is to enable them to overcome limiting norms, in order to increase their personal potential to develop strengths, exercise agency, and achieve goals Sunsilk’s aim is to empower and equip girls with the vision, support, skills and confidence they need to start exploring their possibilities—ultimately stretching the horizon of what they believe they can be and achieve.

Piety, Onslaught: Commercial Speech and Gender Inequality, 60 Case W. Rsrv. L.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent.

    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Menurut Kasali (1992: 9), iklan adalah bagian dari bauran promosi (promotion mix) dan bauran promosi adalah bagian dari bauran pemasaran (marketing mix). Secara sederhana, iklan didefinisikan sebagai pesan yang menawarkan suatu produk yang ditujukan kepada masyarakat lewat suatu media. Menurut Vivian (2008: 365), iklan adalah ekonomi konsumen yang penting. Tanpa iklan, orang sulit mengetahui bermacam-macam produk dan jasa yang tersedia. Kasali (1992: 16) menyatakan, beberapa manfaat iklan bagi pembangunan masyarakat dan ekonomi adalah (1) iklan memperluas alternatif bagi konsumen. Dengan adanya iklan, konsumen dapat mengetahui adanya berbagai produk, yang menimbulkan pilihan, (2) iklan membantu produsen menimbulkan kepercayaan bagi konsumennya, (3) iklan membuat orang kenal, ingat, dan percaya. Dalam hal ini, Unilever sebagai organisasi bisnis menggunakan iklan untuk membuat orang kenal, ingat, dan percaya akan produk barunya. Menurut data dari website Unilever USA dalam http://www.unileverusa.com/resource/FAQs/, Unilever sendiri merupakan satu dari fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) suppliers terdepan di dunia yang beroperasi di lebih dari 100 negara dan penjualan di 180 negara.

  • Unilever and Biodiversity Jan Kees Vis Director Sustainable Agriculture
    Unilever and biodiversity Jan Kees Vis Director Sustainable Agriculture, Unilever Unilever is an Anglo-Dutch Fast Moving Consumer Goods company. With sales of about 40 billion Euros in 2007, realised in over 150 countries, it is one of the largest FMCG companies in the world. Unilever produces Foods and Home and Personal Care products. Brands include Knorr, Lipton, Bertolli, Hellmann’s, Becel/Flora, Dove, Axe, Domestos, Surf, Signal and Sunsilk. Unilever’s aim is to help people feel good, look good and get more out of life. This is called Unilever’s Vitality strategy. Since the mid 1990’s, Unilever has run three sustainability programmes and an environmental care programme. The sustainability programmes look at water, fish and agriculture. Roughly two-thirds of Unilever’s raw materials come from agriculture and forestry. Making agriculture (and forestry) more sustainable, is therefore of direct business interest to Unilever. In the sustainable agriculture programme, Unilever works with 11 indicators: soil health and fertility, soil loss, nutrients, pest management, biodiversity, energy, water, social and human capital, local economy and animal welfare. On the basis of these 11 indicators, Unilever runs a number of Agriculture Programmes around the world. In these programmes, we have developed hands on experience in dealing with biodiversity issues on the ground, i.e. on farms and in plantations. As Unilever is dependent on renewable raw materials, the company depends on the regenerative power of the natural resources on the planet. As a food company, we depend on plant variability (for plant breeding), on on-farm biodiversity as a necessary element in Integrated Crop Management, and on a variety of general ecosystem services, such as pollination, nutrient cycling, carbon and water cycling, water purification, flood protection, atmospheric control, weather control etc.

  • Case Study: Unilever1
    CASE STUDY: UNILEVER1 1. Introduction Unilever is a British-Dutch company that operates in the market of consumer goods and sells its products in around 190 countries. Another remarkable fact is that they own more than 400 brands, what means an important diversification in both risk and the products they sell, among which there is food, personal care products and cleaning agents. In fact, twelve of these brands have sales of more than a billion euros. The importance of this multinational is reflected too in the fact 2.5 billion people use Unilever products every day, being part of their daily life. They also are responsible for the employment of 161,000 people in the different countries they operate. Finally, they believe in a sustainable business plan in which they reduce the environmental footprint and increase their positive social impact at the time they keep growing. 2. History Unilever was officially formed in 1929 by the merger of a margarine Dutch company and a British soapmaker. The margarine company of Netherlands was also a merger between the first margarine factory called in the world and another factory of the same product and from the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands. The soapmaker company revolutionized the market because it helped to a more hygienic society and the manufacturing of the product was wrapped. The name of the company is a fusion between the Dutch firm called Margarine Unie and the British firm called Lever Brothers. What Unilever did, was to expand its market locations to the American Latin and Africa. Moreover they widened the product areas to new sectors such as particular food and chemical products.
