商品敘述：

Unilever''s new Global Brand VP must not only revitalize Lifebuoy soap''s sagging market performance, but simultaneously impact the health of one billion people worldwide. The latter challenge comes from Unilever''s new CEO who has introduced the Unilever Sustainable Living Program (USLP), a set of bold environmental and social objectives that he has integrated into the heart of the company''s global strategy. In contrast to most corporate social responsibility programs, USLP''s quantified objectives are clearly defined, tightly specified, and independently audited. And managers are held strictly accountable for their achievement. After describing the background of the 100 year old Lifebuoy soap brand which is now sold primarily in developing country markets, the case outlines the steps taken by Samir Singh, Lifebuoy''s newly appointed Global Brand VP as he tries to reverse its declining sales and profit performance. The case then focuses on Singh''s relationship with Sudir Sitapiti, the category manager for Lifebuoy in India, the brand''s largest market worldwide. Although Sitapiti has done a creditable job in turning around sales and profitability, he has fallen behind on his USLP challenge to bring handwashing behavior change to 450 million people in poor, remote Indian villages. The case concludes with some specific marketing investment decisions that Sitapati is considering and that Singh hopes to influence. This case is accompanied by a Video Short that can be shown in class or included in a digital coursepack. Instructors should consider the timing of making the video available to students, as it may reveal key case details.
