Description
  • Unilever's online Sustainable Development Report contains our Communication on Progress. Our shorter print report reiterates our support for the Compact and its principles.

    Our commitment to responsible business practice is embedded in our core values and operating principles. Our senior leaders and employees use the report to explain Unilever’s approach to business in presentations and events addressed to a wide range of stakeholders around the world. Our head office takes the lead in communicating the report to key international opinion formers, while our national companies build relationships with regional, national and local stakeholders.
