SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

1. IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING – Around 224 million people have been reached by the end of 2012

2. IMPROVING NUTRITION - In 2012 majority of the products met, or were better than, benchmarks based on national nutritional recommendations

3. REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT – To Halve the greenhouse gas impact of products across the lifecycle by 2020

4. ENHANCING LIVELIHOODS – 36% of agricultural raw materials are sustainably sourced by the end of 2012

5. BETTER LIVELIHOODS - The number of tea farmers trained in sustainable practices has increased to around 450,000

India has more than 6,30,000 villages, most of these are 'hard to reach' and offer relatively lower business potential. Hence, reaching them through the conventional distribution system is a challenge.

Followed the approach of doing business which we call “doing well by doing good”.

Project Shakti is a rural distribution initiative that targets small villages. The project benefits HUL by enhancing its direct rural reach and also creates livelihood opportunities for underprivileged rural women.

Shakti model is very strong and sustainable because it is the best way we can give back to the society through supporting our cause of ' empowering underprivileged rural women' along with making business sense.

Shakti started with 17 women in two states. Today, it provides livelihood enhancing opportunities to about 45,000 women in 15 Indian states and provides access to quality products across 100,000+ villages and over 3 million households every month .

AS SAFE AS DRINKING WATER

SURF EXCEL

CLEAN CLOTHES, LESS WATER

Earlier rinsing clothes consumed a lot of water .

This was the challenge taken up by the Innovation Team of Unilever.

To reduce the number of rinses the team added anti-foaming ingredients.

They invented Surf Excel Quick Wash which delivers a good lather and reduces rinsing as well.

Thus, saving two buckets of water, per wash.

They supported an ad campaign to promote the message of ‘We can have clean clothes with less lather.’

LIFEBUOY

Introduced in 1894, Lifebuoy is one of the oldest brands of Unilever, trusted by more than 1.6 Billion people.

Earlier a lot of people died because of Diarrhea.

The new advanced Lifebuoy with Active5 Germ Protection tackles both bacteria and virus and also leaves a pleasant smell.

The soap bar now lasts longer and produces 30% more lather!

Now it has many variants such as Mild Care, Betel Leaf, Vita Protect .

Lifebuoy now offers sanitizers and liquid hand washes also.

MAKING A BILLION INDIANS FEEL SAFE

LIPTON- Sun Tea

Innovation team was given the task of developing tea bags to prepare Iced Tea instead of powder.

They came up with Pyramid Tea Bags, which results in quick infusion of flavour in cold water.

Instead of powder, dried tea leaves were used to enhance the drinking experience.

The tea bags also go through a special thermal treatment which helps in killing germs.

It is available in three innovative flavours- Zesty Lemon & Lime, Exotic Peach & Mango, and Intense Mint Green Tea

THE PERFECT ICED TEA

REXONA

REXONA-MotionSense

It was seen that all deodorants fade over the course of the day.

Unilever came up with MotionSense technology to solve this problem.

Fragrance gets released whenever the person moves, when it is needed the most.

Thus, this product has redefined the deodorant experience for women.
