Ever since he became the CEO of the Sugar Group Companies, Gunawan Jusuf has helped to create enormous growth for many of the most popular products in Indonesia. The most prominent example is Gulaku, a commercial refined sugar product, but there are many others almost as popular. Gunawan Jusuf oversees a collection of independent Indonesia-based companies that work separately to create their own products, even as they all work together for a singular purpose.
Gunawan Jesus doesn’t just manage plantations and refineries throughout Indonesia, but the Sugar Group Companies operates from nearly a dozen offices nationwide, as well. It is his ability to make sure that every employee, subsidiary company and the various offices and plants all work together that is Gunawan Jusuf’s greatest skill. He is also involved with keeping his business thriving in other ways, as well. Recently, Gunawan Jusuf published a book, entitled “Blue Gold,” which discusses in great detail the relative scarcity and the high value of water as our most important and precious commodity. His business background has made him understand better than most how precious and valuable natural resources can be to all businesses, which means hat conservation and sustainable use of all natural resources is very important for everyone.
