The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan
(USLP) is the plan that we are pursuing
to achieve sustainable growth. It provides
thedifferentiator in our business model,
because sustainability is integral to how
wedo business. In anuncertain and volatile
world, we cannot achieve our Compass
Vision to double the size of the business
without also reducing our environmental
footprint and increasing our positive social
impact. We have incorporated reporting
on the USLP here and aligned it with our
virtuous circle of growth. In place since
2010, the USLP is increasingly helping
to drive profitable growth for our brands,
to save costs and tofuel innovation.
PRORESS TOWARDS TARETS
The USLP sets out three bold and ambtous
goals by 2020 to
• Help more than a bllon people to
mprove ther health and well-beng
• Halve the envronmental footprnt
of our products across the value chan
• Source 100% of our agrcultural raw
materals sustanably and enhance
the lvelhoods of people across our
value chan
Underpnnng these goals are seven
commtments supported by targets
spannng our socal, envronmental and
economc performance across the value
chan – from the sourcng of raw materals
all the way through to the use of our
products n the home
By 2020 we will help more than
a billion people take action to
improve their health and well-being.
By 2020 our goal is to halve the environmental
footprint of the making and use of our
products as we grow our business.^
