Kallol “Kallol” Mukherjee, Procurement Director, Philippines & Vietnam Markets, Unilever. Kallol talks on the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. He argues that sustainable sourcing brings far-reaching benefits to all involved – for instance, he cites sustainable farming methods that enhanced farmer livelihood by increasing yield and quality, thereby improving profit margins. Kallol then brings sustainability into the context of the digital world. Here, he casts a vision of digital farming, big data cloud computing, blockchain technology for tracing, and accessible logistics.
Kallol started his career as a factory engineer for Unilever. Since then, he has been involved in procurement in various markets in Asia, developing and managing global competitive sourcing programs, and setting up procurement hubs. As Procurement Director of Unilever, serving both the Philippine and Vietnam markets, Kallol embraces the company’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and sustainable manufacturing practices.

How Do We Feed One Hundred Million?
IEmagineering Systems for Food Security
April 21, 2018 (Saturday) | National Institute of Physics, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
This symposium hopes to start a conversation on challenges, limitations, threats and solutions to a critical issue that our nation faces: food insecurity. Both the government and the private sector have developed technologies and solutions to the many components affecting this issue: sourcing and funding, logistics, storage, production, retail and distribution. However, we believe that an integrated approach is required to initiate sustained programs that will ensure continued access to nutritious and affordable food for 100,000,000 Filipinos.
We propose that the application of IE principles and systems thinking is key to viewing national food security holistically–to better grasp its dimensions, and then to be able to design, plan and propose multi-sectoral strategies, as solid steps towards nation-building. We hope to spark the participant’s imagination by presenting innovative and pioneering solutions and open their young minds to the idea that there are many career and business opportunities for Industrial Engineers in this area.
