Gunawan Jusuf: Profile of Sugar Group Companies CEO

In addition to several plantations and refineries throughout Indonesia, Sugar Group Companies, for which Gunawan Jusuf is the CEO, operates from nearly a dozen offices located throughout Indonesia. That is one reason Gunawan Jusuf decided to publish a book, entitled “Blue Gold,” early in 2016. The book speaks frankly about the problems that come with the relative scarcity of water and its value as our most precious commodity. He understands how important and valuable our 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 CEO, Gunawan Jusuf has led the Sugar Group Companies to produce enormous growth for Gulaku, which is a premium, commercial, refined sugar product that is a household name all over Indonesia. Sugar Group Companies is not just a single business, but rather a collection of businesses that operate independently, even as they work as a crucial part of the larger group. Every business works in concert to reach the goals of the overall company. It is that ability to make sure that every employee, subsidiary company and each of the various offices and plants are all working together that marks Gunawan Jusuf’s greatest accomplishment as Sugar Group Companies’ leader.
