In addition to a number of plantations and refineries throughout Indonesia, Sugar Group Companies, led by CEO Gunawan Jusuf, operates from nearly a dozen offices located throughout Indonesia, as well as facilities that grow and refine sugar for use in many food products. That is why it seems natural that Gunawan Jusuf recently published a book in early 2016 entitled Blue Gold. That book features a very powerful point of view with regard to the relative scarcity of water and its value as our most important and precious commodity.
Given his business background, Gunawan understands better than most how precious and valuable natural resources can be. Not only is water crucial to the lives of humans everywhere, it is also essential to his business. From his position as Sugar Group Companies CEO, Gunawan Jusuf has created an atmosphere that has produced enormous growth of Gulaku, which is a premium, commercial, refined sugar product that is a household name all over Indonesia. It is not the only product, however; the company features many other popular products. To continue to produce them, it will be necessary to manage resources better.
