Procter & Gamble (P&G) Thailand, together with senior representatives of the United Nations, have the global 'My World' survey to find out the development priorities of people around the world.
The event was conducted at P&G Thailand’s manufacturing plant at Wellgrow Industrial Estate. It was attended by Etienne Clement, Deputy Director of UNESCO Asia Pacific, Monir Islam, WHO Representative to Thailand, Raul Falcon, Managing Director of P&G Thailand, and Lelwyn Dsouza, Plant Manager of P&G’s Bangkok Plant.
Luc Stevens, the United Nations Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Thailand said the global survey, of which P&G is the first global corporate partner, aimed to capture the voices of people around the world – their concerns, fears, and priorities. The results would then be conveyed to global leaders for defining the next set of global development goals.
“The My World survey being conducted around the world, both online and offline, asks the public to select six of 16 possible issues that would make the most difference in their lives, ranging from poverty eradication, and education, to gender equality and the environment,” Stevens said.
He said that the survey would ensure that the world’s next set of development goals are truly those of the people, relevant to their daily lives, and which may meaningfully improve their lives.
Clement said P&G was proud to engage their employees and the public in this My World campaign.
“This event is an example of what a company can do when they are fully committed to make a difference to our world,” Clement said.
Falcon said My World was a historic undertaking and deserved much admiration.
“This new initiative from the United Nations raises to a new level the way in which a large global organization like the United Nations can stay connected with the everyday, individual needs of billions of people around the world,” Clement said.
Dsouza encouraged the people to take part of the survey at pg.myworld2015.org.
