Sugar Group Companies CEO Gunawan Jusuf

When Gunawan Jusuf published his book, entitled “Blue Gold” early in 2016, he did so to point out the potential scarcity and the incredible value of water as the most important and precious commodity in the world. He made the case that not only is water crucial to the lives of humans everywhere, it is also essential to his business model. This need means it’s crucial to get many disparate interests to act together to solve problem, much as he does in business.

In his career, Gunawan Jusuf is the CEO for the Sugar Group Companies. From that position, he oversees a highly diverse collection of Indonesia-based companies that grow and refine sugar to be used in many consumer products, many of which are enormously popular. In addition to plantations and refineries throughout Indonesia, Sugar Group Companies also operates nearly a dozen offices located throughout the country. It has been his proven ability to make sure that every employee, subsidiary and the various plants and offices all work together that marks Gunawan Jusuf’s greatest accomplishment as Sugar Group Companies’ leader.
