On Sustainable Entrepreneurship Day, we celebrate the innovators who are shaping a better future! For Belinda Lau, M.B.A. ’20, Bruin Business 100 honoree and founder of oral care company elims sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way to create meaningful change. She shared, "Being a sustainable entrepreneur is about taking responsibility—not just for the products we create but for the lasting impact our business has on people and the planet. At ELIMS, sustainability means designing with intention, using clean, science-backed ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and even offering programs like oral care recycling with TerraCycle to reduce waste.” UCLA played a huge role in shaping this vision. For Belinda, the UCLA Anderson School of Management Executive M.B.A. program provided the tools and confidence to leap from corporate America into purpose-driven entrepreneurship. For her husband and business partner, Casey Lau ’97, D.D.S. ’02, studying at UCLA School of Dentistry transformed his approach to dentistry, sparking a passion for innovation and sustainability beyond the dental chair. The UCLA community continues to make an impact by blending purpose and business. Applications for the 2025 Bruin Business 100 cohort are open through Dec. 17 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
