LAS VEGAS, NV (NYSE: UN), one of the world's largest consumer
products companies, announced today that on February 6th, during
its Annual 2008 Customer Development Meeting, company executives
will participate in a variety of community service projects to
enhance the health and well-being of the greater Las Vegas area. As
part of Unilever's commitment to corporate responsibility and
mission to add vitality to life, it seeks to engage the talents and
resources of employees to make positive contributions to the
community.
"Unilever is excited to be back in Las Vegas working with
community partners that help make a difference in the lives of so
many," said Art Drogue, senior vice president, Customer
Development, Unilever, U.S. "Each year we're here, our employees
continue to make a measurable difference in the community by
supporting local organizations in need."
Under Drogue's direction and leadership, several community
partners will benefit from Unilever's efforts, which are focused on
sustainable development, adding vitality to life, nutrition
enhancement, and hygiene for health. Notably, Unilever employees
will participate in two separate KaBOOM! playground installations
at The Innovations International Charter School and The Nevada
Children's Center with approximately 250 Unilever staff seeing both
projects through to their completion.
Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas will also benefit from the
volunteers' efforts, hosting approximately 100 Unilever employees
who will landscape and paint fences at two adjacent homes while the
future homeowners watch their dream come to life.
Unilever employees will also donate and install computers at
four Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the Las Vegas area, which
will help the Clubs continue to deliver quality programs for their
youth.
Outside of Las Vegas proper, approximately 50 Unilever
volunteers will construct benches made out of recycled plastic
lumber so that observers and program participants may enjoy the
lake's beauty. It is estimated that the Center receives more than
1.1 million visitors annually.
"By helping to build lasting infrastructure in the Las Vegas
community, we believe that our contribution will leave Las Vegas a
bit better than before our arrival," concluded Drogue.
