Unilever has taken several steps to combat global food waste within its supply chain and operations. It has focused on reducing waste in three major areas - tomatoes, sugar, and tea. For each commodity, Unilever analyzed where waste occurs most and implemented strategies like improving harvesting techniques, educating farmers, and developing more efficient packaging. Unilever also works with customers and consumers to reduce waste, such as by encouraging the use of leftovers. The company's goal is to have zero waste sent to landfills by 2020 and encourage other stakeholders to do the same across the entire value chain.

7. Food waste at Unilever
27% of firm’s revenue and 41% operating profit is by food category
19% of firm’s revenue and 11% operating profit is by refreshment category
Both these together contribute 63% of Unilever’s waste
Unilever is more efficient than most primarily because most of the foods are
processed so less perishable
Unilever has worked on building efficiencies on supply chain and by incentivizing
and supporting suppliers to reduce waste
Unilever decided to focus first on 3 major waste sources i.e.. Tomatoes, Sugar and
Tea
They focused on improving their own operation and through R&D and new
technologies

11. Managing downstream sources of food waste
Working with customers
Mainly in countries where global economic recession persisted
Compete on solution rather than just on price
Worked with food service customers such as restaurants and hotels
Unilever Food Solution launched an app in the UK name “Wise up on Waste” directed towards
professional chef
Working with consumers
More than 20% of food wastage is after retail
In UK alone value of food thrown out each year is 700 pounds, by a family with children
Encouraged consumers to use left over food using Unilever’s food products like “Knor soups”
In a trial practice with 12 British and Irish family, Unilever was successful in reducing their waste
by 25%-33%
Lunched Live Better Challenge in partnership with The Gaurdian, and saved 10metric ton food
waste was prevented by participants in a week
12. Making Internal Changes
Product left in packages
Developed easy to evacuate packaging
Packaging as per changing demographics
Impact of waste reduction on sales
Sales would fall down
This is an opportunity for brands to partner with consumers to live sustainably
It reduces wastes and increases revenue
Also worked with competitors to reduce waste
13. Broader Mandates
By 2014 company will become the first largest FMCG with zero waste to land fill
Encourage all stakeholders for zero waste value chain
Building on Impact
Despite of critics on overall revenue, Unilever CEO said we have to deliver rather
than responding to critic
Sigismondi said “Food reduction will ultimately be driven by consumer demand”
Unilever’s supply chain became one of the best recognised in the word
Long term success ultimately relied on continue participation of all the members of
the value chain.
