Originally initiated in 2021, this program continues to operate with defined business-to-consumer (B2C) goals set for 2025. In particular, its primary objectives include promoting gender equality and social inclusivity within the supply chain, thereby fostering a more diverse and equitable business environment in Thailand. Moreover, the positive implications of this program extend beyond Unilever’s operations; it not only enhances supply chain resilience but also "contributes to the economic empowerment of diverse SMEs, supporting broader socio-economic growth in the region."","datePublished":"2024-09-25T16:06:02Z","headline":"Localized Enterprise Programs","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TREND HUNTER

"the country's first diverse suppliers’ recruitment drive; this initiative represents a nationwide effort to identify and engage local and diverse small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in Unilever’s supplier development program."<br /> <br /> Originally initiated in 2021, this program continues to operate with defined business-to-consumer (B2C) goals set for 2025. In particular, its primary objectives include promoting gender equality and social inclusivity within the supply chain, thereby fostering a more diverse and equitable business environment in Thailand. Moreover, the positive implications of this program extend beyond Unilever’s operations; it not only enhances supply chain resilience but also "contributes to the economic empowerment of diverse SMEs, supporting broader socio-economic growth in the region."<br /> <br /> Image Credit: Shutterstock</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

In particular, its primary objectives include promoting gender equality and social inclusivity within the supply chain, thereby fostering a more diverse and equitable business environment in Thailand. Moreover, the positive implications of this program extend beyond Unilever\u2019s operations; it not only enhances supply chain resilience but also \"contributes to the economic empowerment of diverse SMEs, supporting broader socio-economic growth in the region.\"<br \/>\n<br \/>\nImage Credit: Shutterstock<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

And boards with more people of color are 13% more likely to outperform less diverse boards.\" <br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs part of its diversity-promoting campaign, e.l.f. Cosmetics provides information about its own board of directors, which boasts significant gender and racial diversity compared to many other publicly traded companies.

Inspired by the \u201cshop local\u201d ethos, this initiative brings together top rep agencies in the gift industry to advocate for the value of ordering from local sales representatives. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe movement is built on the foundation of trust and extensive expertise that local sales reps offer, which is often unparalleled by other sources. These representatives play a crucial role in lightening the buyer\u2019s load by performing a variety of tasks such as placing orders, checking on orders, providing product availability, taking inventories, identifying best sellers, assisting with merchandising, helping train store staff, following up on credit issues, and negotiating special terms. Their intimate knowledge of the community and investment in the surrounding towns make them invaluable partners for retail businesses.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe initiative, run primarily by Angela Schmook from Road Runners LLC, is supported by over 25 representative agencies nationwide, all uniting to champion local businesses and foster partnerships with representatives who understand the unique needs and dynamics of their local market. By collaborating with local reps, retailers can gain insights into products that resonate with their customers and cultivate enduring relationships that contribute to the vitality of their stores and communities. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe campaign, which will be noticeable throughout the Summer Market season, is supported by market centers and trade shows such as the Dallas Market Center, Atlanta Market Center, Las Vegas Market Center, Seattle Mart, and NY NOW. With a commitment to continuity beyond the summer market season, the \u201cReps are Local Too\u201d initiative aims to have a lasting impact well into 2025 and beyond.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nImage Credit: Road Runners LLC<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

Initially launched as a pilot, the program has evolved into a permanent recruitment pillar within IKEA Australia. The initiative began in 2021 and has since transitioned from an 8-week paid work placement to providing secure, ongoing employment opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers from diverse backgrounds. In partnership with Community Corporate, the program has offered paid work placements to more than 180 individuals from 23 different cultural backgrounds, speaking 40 different languages. In total, the pilot resulted in the employment of roughly 3,000 refugees by the beginning of 2024.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGlobally, IKEA has announced new commitments to further the integration of refugees into the workforce by 2027. The Ingka Group, IKEA\u2019s largest retailer, aims to increase the employability of an additional 3,000 refugees and asylum seekers by the end of 2027. This goal builds upon the success of the Skills for Employment program, which surpassed its 2019 target by supporting 2,935 asylum seekers and refugees between 2019 and 2023, with 54% finding employment within or outside IKEA.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nImage Credit: IKEA<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

This financial support has not only stabilized her shop but also provided employment opportunities within her community.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nVillage Savings and Loan Associations are community-driven financial groups that offer an alternative to traditional banking in rural areas.
