Unilever, a global leader in home and personal care products is all about facilitating a clean home, planet and future. It is those virtues that have aligned them to partner with the marathon that will take place on September 2, in Kasese.

Unilever Uganda’s Home Care Category & Channel Development Manager, Emmanuel Kabugo speaks at the press conference held at the Uganda Breweries Limited headquarters, Luzira, where Unilever’s package for the Tusker Lite Mount Rwenzori Marathon was unveiled.

“We are aware this run is upcountry so we have packaged runners’ kits with our products like Pepsodent toothpaste, Vaseline and Omo to ensure their hygiene and personal care during the event,” Kabugo said.  

As a global brand, Unilever wants to take a front seat in fighting climate change by facilitating a clean environment for ages to come. It is for those same reasons that they have partnered with the marathon, whose major goal on top of promoting tourism is to highlight climate change and environmental conservation.

“We want a brighter future for Ugandans. We are harnessing our brands, our people and our partners to create a lasting positive impact on the world and our business. Partnering with an experience like the Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon gives us the perfect platform to implement our purpose of preserving the environment,” Kabugo said.
