企業不應只是利潤機器，更應成為永續改變的引擎

在擔任聯合利華（Unilever）CEO期間，Paul Polman 徹底改寫了企業與永續的關係。他不僅取消季度財報，鼓勵長期思維，更將聯合利華轉型為 ESG（環境、社會、治理）領域的全球典範。Polman 主張，真正的商業成功來自於對社會與環境的正面影響。

「你不能在失敗的社會中經營成功的企業。」
“You cannot run a successful business in a failing society.” — Paul Polman

他推動的「永續生活計畫」（Unilever Sustainable Living Plan），以減碳、減廢、促進社會公平為核心，證明永續與盈利可以共存。如今，Paul Polman 將這一理念擴展到更廣的企業生態系統，透過基金會與倡議，推動全球ESG標準與永續轉型。

During his tenure as CEO of Unilever, Paul Polman redefined the role of business in society. Rejecting short-termism, he eliminated quarterly reporting and focused on long-term value creation. Under his leadership, Unilever became a global pioneer in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards and sustainable business.
