Description
  • Unilever's online Sustainable Development Report 2007 contains our Communication on Progress, including a statement of support from our Chairman and Group Chief Executive. The Report also contains an index that explains how our own principles reflect those of the Compact and how we implement them across our business.

    Our leadership and employees use the contents of the Report to explain Unilever’s approach to corporate responsibility to a broad range of stakeholders around the world. By posting our Report online, we make it easily accessible to a wide audience.
