On this week’s Impact Around the World by EDHEC Alumni, UK-based alumnus Olivier Floc'h opens up about his career in sustainable transformation at the heart of the world's fourth-largest consumer goods company. Olivier delves into career pivots, what drives Unilever's commitment to social impact, infusing sustainability with profitability, and how consumers are wising up to the controversial topic of Greenwashing.

A 2007 MiM graduate, Olivier is a consumer marketing professional with over 10 years of experience across Food, Skin, and Hair-care brands at Unilever. As a Senior Sustainability Manager, he supports their marketing teams to define, embed, and activate a sustainable living purpose that is true to Unilever's roots and relevant to the people it serves. Alongside that, he works with their R&D team to take practical steps, including addressing water scarcity, moving to sustainable packaging, and reducing the carbon footprint of Unilever as a whole.
