A sustainable business plan:
They want their business to grow but they recognise that growth at the expense of people or the environment is
both unacceptable and commercially unsustainable. Sustainable growth is the only acceptable model for their
business.
Our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) is central to their business model. It sets out how they will
decouple their growth from environmental impact, while at the same time increasing their positive social
impact.
USLP has three big goals:
Help more than a billion people to improve their health and wellbeing.
Halve the environmental footprint of our products.
Source 100% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably and enhance the livelihoods of people across our
value chain.
