Sustainable Development Report

Sustainability is critical to the continued success of our business and to the environment and society we live in.

Welcome to Unilever’s 2010 Sustainable Development Report

Sparkle iconThrough our business and brands, we want to create a better future every day for people all around the world: the people who work for us, those we do business with, the billions of people who use our products, and future generations whose quality of life depends on the way we protect the environment today. In November 2010 we launched our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, setting out a bold programme of action for the business for the next ten years and a range of targets to achieve by 2020. The elements of the Plan are set out on these pages and as a 24- page pdf. We also have a separate more detailed website at www.sustainable-living.com. We will issue our first report on progress against our Sustainable Living Plan commitments in 2012. Our online Sustainable Development Report 2010 gives an update on the progress we made during 2010 on the key sustainability issues related to our business. We have not produced a printed Report this year.
