Unilever Centre for Environmental Water Quality (UCEWQ) in South Africa have been analysing the potential risks and opportunity from using greywater (wastewater) in small scale agriculture as well as developing materials to help people implement grewater recycling methods at home

Waste & packaging

Unilever committed in 2017 to have 100% of their plastic packaging to be designed to be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025

Increase the recycled plastic content in their packaging to at least 25% by 2025. This helps reduce the weight of packaging by 33% by 2020 and 50% reduction in the waste associated with the disposal of the products by 2020

Opportunities for women

by leveraging Unilever's influence as one of the world’s biggest advertisers – not just to change the way Unilever market their products, but also to advocate and partner for change across the industry

Examples: Brooke Bond #SpeakourHeart: tackling tensions globally; Dove: #MyBeautyMySay: real women, real stories

Axe:IsItOKForGuys

by building a diverse business and value chain, in which women are empowered and act as role models for change

by developing sustainable living brands that are progressing gender equality and women´s empowerment

Sustainable sourcing

commitment to sustainably sourcing 100% of their tea, including loose tea, by 2020

Work with partners from tea growers, suppliers and NGOs to local and national governments, the wider tea industry and beyond

Example: public-private partnership with Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) – this enabled 86,000 farmers, including 42,000 women to train at Farmer Field Schools for guidance on how to share best agricultural practices, increase yields, improve quality and improve their health and nutrition.

Source all electricity purchased from the grid, 100% of energy across all operations from renewable sources by 2030

Eliminate coal from the energy mix by 2020

Directly support the generation of more renewable energy than we consume, making the surplus available to the markets and communities where Unilever operate by 2030

The population is growing and requires more resources

8.3 billion people

35% more food

40% more water

50% more energy

The world’s population is expected to reach over 8 billion by 2030, posing even more demand on water, energy and food supplies. But amidst the challenge and uncertainty, there is vast opportunity.
