Manila, Philippines - Building on the success of the 2013 and 2014 Awards, Unilever Philippines is once again on a hunt for young Filipino social entrepreneurs aged 35 and under offering practical and innovative solutions to some of the world's biggest sustainability challenges.

The Unilever Sustainable Living Young Entrepreneurs Awards, run in partnership with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership  (CISL), and in collaboration with Ashoka, offer seven young people across the globe a total of more than P4M in financial support and individually tailored mentoring.  The overall winner also receives the prestigious HRH The Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize.

The Awards are part of Unilever's effort to support the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development.  These ambitious goals set out to end extreme poverty, tackle climate change, empower women, secure universal water access, and reduce hunger by 2030.

This year, in support of its partnership with Global Citizen and Project Everyone, the company created eight categories of the 17 UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development which best align with its Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan. The eight categories are:

Global Goal 1 - No Poverty

Global Goal 2 - Zero Hunger

Global Goal 5 - Gender Equality

Global Goal 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation

Global Goal 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

Global Goal 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth

Global Goal 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production

Global Goal 13 - Climate Action

"Unilever supports the Global Goals because we see that there is not only a moral imperative, but that is also makes good business sense, " said Unilever Philippines chairman and CEO Rohit Jawa.

"And we created these awards for young people because they will be the guardians of sustainable development long into the future.  We believe that given the chance and the right support, young people around the world can create positive movements for change and a brighter future," he added.

Application and Announcement

The Awards are hosted online at Ashoska Changemakers (www.changemakers.com/globalgoals2015).  Applications must be submitted by the closing date of 12 midnight UK time on 18 November 2015.

Finalists will be announced in March 2016, with the Cambridge accelerator workshop and final judging in the following months.

The winners of the previous Awards demonstrate that innovative solutions can influence people across markets to buy smarter and live more sustainbly, and can provide businesses with tools to improve their productive, efficient and responsible use of natural resources.

The overall winner of last year's competition, Daniel Yu, developed a simple software solution that helps medical clinics in the developing world digitized and manage inventory records - delivering better outcomes for patients and improving efficiency across the supply chain.

Protect Your Bones with Caltrate Plus

 



It is easy, or seemingly involuntary, to take things for granted when living in today’s fast-paced world. Health is almost secondary, as work is often given high priority. But to keep the body going, one needs food and nutrients for sustenance—the same goes for the need for strong bones to ensure continuous mobility and support.

 

Sadly, food and bone health, although considered vital life components, are still largely ignored, be it due to poor lifestyle or lack of awareness.
 

To help address this growing health problem, Pfizer Consumer Healthcare (PCH) partnered with the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) to spearhead the local celebration of World Osteoporosis Day (WOD) on October 20.

Aptly themed “Serve up Bone Strength,” WOD 2015 focuses on the importance of adopting a bone-healthy diet throughout a person’s lifetime to optimize bone strength. The campaign highlights the point that poor nutrition is one of the critical risk factors for developing bone-related diseases.

“It conveys the message that the first step in osteoporosis prevention begins in youth, when nutrition can help maximize our bone-building potential, and continues throughout life as we strive to maintain strong bones at older age,” explained IOF, the global organizer of WOD.

A key date in the bone, muscle, and joint community agenda, WOD is an occasion when people around the globe unite to put the spotlight on the immense burden caused by osteoporosis and other musculoskeletal diseases, and the actions that can be taken to prevent and treat them. It aims to put bone, muscle, and joint health on the global health agenda.

In the Philippines, PCH has remained a solid supporter of this global movement and has advocated various activities in the past to raise awareness on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease.

 

The Silent Disease

According to IOF, osteoporosis affects over 200 million people worldwide. Approximately one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 will break a bone (also known as osteoporotic fracture) due to this silent disease.

Fractures, specifically hip fractures, can cause loss of function and independence with 40% of patients unable to walk independently; 60% requiring assistance a year later; 33% being totally dependent on or in a nursing home. Moreover, hip fractures cause the greatest morbidity with reported mortality rates up to 20-24% in the first year after a person suffers a hip fracture. 

We at Pfizer Consumer Healthcare support the IOF in its advocacy to inform the people about osteoporosis and the fact that it can be prevented,” says Dr. Egbert Dorado, senior medical manager at PCH. “We echo IOF’s key message: Adequate intake of the right nutrients contributes to bone health at all ages, and is a first step in osteoporosis prevention. For those who already have osteoporosis, a bone-healthy nutrition should be part of their treatment and rehabilitation program.”

Three of the major nutrients that help optimize bone health are: calcium, vitamin D, and protein, with recommended daily allowances varying throughout life.

“Regulating calcium levels in the body promotes better bone mass density (BMD), alongside improving muscle performance and balance. Taking a calcium supplement with adequate levels of Vitamin D3 also helps maximize calcium absorption,” adds Dr. Egbert.

While proper nutrition works, it is also important to have a holistic approach to osteoporosis prevention and management.

“It is indeed crucial to build strong bones early in life by following a healthy diet as it is the key ingredient in helping a person achieve peak bone mass, and maintaining it throughout life. But it is equally important to avoid other modifiable risk factors including sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and alcohol use,” explains Dr. Egbert.

Osteoporosis is an incurable disease, but controlling its risk factors and complying with treatment regimens where prescribed can ensure a mobile, independent, and fracture-free life.

He has performed to more than one million people, including royalty and celebrities, in hundreds of cities around the world.
