From The Economist
Unilever defines sustainability broadly. It includes not just
environmental factors but improving the lot of customers and workers—its
own and those in its supply chain. It also aims to contribute to
society as a whole. These goals are seen as necessary to maintain the
firm’s “licence to operate” in an age when, Mr Polman believes,
companies will be subject to increasing public scrutiny.
Specifically, by 2020, Unilever aims to: “help a billion people to take steps to improve their health and well-being;" halve the environmental impact of its products; and source all its agricultural raw materials sustainably, meaning that they should meet requirements covering everything from forest protection to pest control.
