20 Unilever Annual Report and Accounts 2010
Sustainable
Living Plan
We have ambitious plans to grow the company. But we recognise
that growth at any cost is not viable. We have to develop new
ways of doing business which will decouple our growth from
our environmental impacts while at the same time increasing
the positive social benefits arising from Unilever’s activities. The
Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, launched in 2010, is ourblueprint
for doing this.
It’s not a new concept for Unilever. We
have long been working and reporting on
our impact on society and the environment.
One example is our work to improve
thenutritional quality of our products.
Since 2005 our Nutrition Enhancement
Programme has reviewed our entire
portfolio of foods – some 30,000
products. As a result of this review we
have made reductions in saturated and
trans fat, sugar and salt in thousands of
our products, in line with globally
recognised dietary guidelines.
Another example is the progress we have
made in reducing our CO2 emissions,
water and waste in factories. Measured
per tonne of production, since 1995 we
have achieved reductions of 44%◊ in CO2
from energy, 66%◊ in our use of water and
73%◊ in the total waste sent fordisposal.
For 2010, these equate to annual reductions
of 6.7%◊, 5%◊ and 0.9%◊ respectively.
The Sustainable Living Plan (the Plan)
brings together all the work we have been
doing and at the same time sets many
new targets to enable us to achieve our
growth ambitions sustainably.
The Plan’s three outcomes
The Plan will result in three significant
outcomes by 2020:
• We will help more than a billion people
take action to improve their health and
well-being.
• We will halve the environmental impact
of the making and use of our products.
• We will enhance the livelihoods of
thousands of people in our supply chain.
Report of the Directors About Unilever
Saving every drop
Many of our consumers do their laundry
by hand, particularly in developing and
emerging markets. Our Comfort One
Rinse fabric conditioner needs only one
bucket of water for rinsing rather than
three – saving consumers time, effort
and around 30 litres of water per wash.
