Editor's Notes

  1. Over 100 years ago, in 1885, our British founder – William Lever – started up his own business making Sunlight soap. He was a social entrepreneur who could see how selling low-cost branded soap at a time when cholera and dysentery in Britain’s Victorian slums were widespread could improve people’s lives and grow his business.   He brought hygiene to millions of people who didn’t know about the existence of germs or why hygiene was important.   He did it by setting his company an inspiring purpose – to make cleanliness commonplace – and by using advertising to make cleanliness the new social norm.
  2. Today Unilever is a global company, with a turnover of over €53 billion and sales in nearly every country in the world.
  3. We make many of the world’s favourite brands, and our products are used 2 billion times a day in over half the households on the planet.
  4. William Lever’s purpose, which seemed audacious at the time, was achieved in Britain. But across the world we face new and bigger challenges: nearly 800 million people are without access to safe drinking water and over 2 billion without access to proper sanitation more than 2 million children die each year from preventable diarrhoeal disease 1 in 10 adults is obese while almost 1 billion go hungry climate change is causing extreme weather conditions and changes to the seasons over a billion people live in water-scarce areas demand for food is increasing to feed a growing population. Governments struggle to agree and implement global solutions on climate change and human development. At Unilever we believe the world cannot wait, the urgency is now and that business and brands have to be part of the solution.
  5. So we have introduced an inspiring purpose for our times: to make sustainable living commonplace. We have made this our purpose because we believe it’s possible for 9 billion people – the world’s population 30 years from now – to live well and live within the natural limits of the planet. And just as William Lever believed the only way to tackle poor hygiene was to make cleanliness desirable and aspirational…. …so today we believe we can only achieve the better future we all want if we make sustainable living the new social norm.
  6. But for us to achieve our purpose, we have to develop a new way of doing business, because the old economic systems are no longer fit for purpose. So we are developing a new business model in which: All agricultural raw materials come from sustainable sources People’s health and wellbeing are a priority Farmers’ livelihoods are improved and women get a fair deal And the planet is protected for future generations. We see tackling these challenges not as problems to be solved but as opportunities to grow our business.
  7. That’s why at Unilever we believe that companies which address both the needs of the environment and the concerns of citizens will prosper over the long term.   It’s this thinking that’s behind our vision, set by our Chief Executive Paul Polman, of doubling the size of our business whilst reducing our environmental footprint and increasing our positive social impact. Our blueprint for reaching our vision is the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan.
  8. The business case for growing a company sustainably is compelling. Consumers expect it. Retailers increasingly demand it from their suppliers. It drives innovation and market development. It saves money and avoids costs. And it inspires the people who work for our business. So this isn’t just about doing good. It’s also about doing well. Over the past four years we’ve learned a lot about how sustainability can help us reduce costs, manage risks and drive innovation and marketing, creating a virtuous circle of growth.   For example: Since 2008 we have avoided over €400 million in cumulative costs in our factories, and saved a further €200 million in 2014 from more eco-efficient use of materials and logistics. Our investment in renewable energy – which now meets 28% of our energy needs – with the long-term aim of 100% renewable energy. Our focus on sustainable sourcing is helping to future proof our supply chain against food insecurity and helping farmers adapt to climate change, the impact of which we are already seeing on our business and is costing us over €300 million a year. Our sustainable innovations, such as laundry products that wash at lower temperatures or require less water, and compressed deodorants are growing our business around the world.
  9. We launched our ambitious Plan in 2010. It has three big goals: Help more than a billion people take action to improve their health and wellbeing Halve the environmental footprint of our products Enhance the livelihoods of millions of people in our supply chain.    
  10. Making R&D at Unilever a Design-led function, putting consumers at the heart and pulling science in, rather than a technology push.
