Binzagr Unilever Ltd., the Saudi arm of one of the world’s major FMCG companies, held its fourth annual Quest Competition 2016, starting from October reaching more 3,700 students from 7 leading universities.
During the months of November and December, the 150 shortlisted talents will engage in a 2-day Experience Unilever Activation to compete for prizes and internship opportunities with Unilever, while learning about how the brand operates.
The KSA championship is part of The Quest, a larger MENA-wide competition and the first cross-university, cross-country challenge that awards students for leadership and initiative while educating them on the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP).
“The Quest is our way of inviting bright and talented young people to learn about Unilever, and gain skills and credentials that will help them tremendously in kick-starting their careers. We’re looking for well-rounded ambitious students who are passionate about business, share our values and vision and display potential to be future leaders,” says Ahmed M. Babatin, HR director, Binzagr Unilever Ltd.

Day 2 was Experience Unilever Day, designed to give shortlisted university students insight into how Unilever’s functions operate together to deliver business performance and maintain the company’s commitment to its USLP priorities.
“We were delighted with the response we achieved on KSA Quest’s. Our aim was to not just highlight Unilever’s unique commitment to the environment but also instill a sense of responsibility toward the environment among young people,” adds Babatin.
