Soromidayo: Women are Changemakers, Essential in Creating Sustainable Future

The Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainable Business, Unilever West Africa, Mrs Soromidayo George, noted that women are changemakers who play a critical part in creating the envisioned and sustainable future required for all.

George made this known while speaking at the 2022 BusinessDay Inspiring Woman Series II, themed, “Leading the Change-My Story, my role, my expectation,” held in Lagos.

She explained that there is ample evidence that a country’s economic prospects are conditioned by how engaged women are in society, how able they are to engage in the boardroom, how women entrepreneurs can thrive, and so much more.

“All over the world, women are becoming changemakers, helping to create a new narrative. We cannot afford to be left behind because the world’s future belongs to us. Our place in building any economy and rebuilding our nation cannot be underestimated. As women, we recognize that we are an important economic, social, and political force,” she said.

In his remarks, The Category Manager of Homecare, Unilever Nigeria Plc, Oladapo Oshuntoye, noted that the Sunlight brand has chosen to take advantage of the platform to drive home the significance of women empowerment in addressing numerous economic challenges.

Also speaking, the Brand Manager, Sunlight, Oluwapelumi Kolade, stated that the brand has decided to sponsor the event to make a strong case for the economic powerhouse that women represent. Kolade noted that the company is delighted to support the initiative as it offers a platform to motivate women and challenge them to achieve their dreams.
