The business case for sustainability
In Unilever we see no conflict between
sustainable consumption and business growth.
Quite the opposite. The business case for
growing our company sustainably is
compelling   - A growing number of consumers
are asking for it       - Retailers
increasingly demand it - It fuels our product
innovation        - It helps us grow our markets
around the world     - And, in many cases, it
saves money

Consumers want it
Consumers around the world want reassurance that
the products they buy are sustainably sourced and
protect the earths natural resources. A growing
number are choosing to buy brands such as
Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM Lipton tea, Ben
Jerrys Fairtrade ice cream and Small Mighty
concentrated laundry detergents. A more
sustainable brand is often a more desirable brand.

Customers want it
Many retailers have sustainability goals of their
own. They need the support of suppliers like
Unilever if they are to achieve them. We share
our expertise in areas such as sustainable
agriculture and lifecycle analysis. This
collaboration is broadening and deepening the
relationships we have with our customers.

Sustainable Sourcing Targets

• Our targets for Sustainable Sourcing
• By 2020 we will source 100 of our agricultural
  raw materials sustainably (50 by 2015)
• We will focus first on our top ten agricultural
  raw material groups (around 70 of our raw
  material volumes). This includes dairy
• Cage-free eggs We aim to move to 100
  cage-free eggs for all our products, including
  Ben Jerrys ice cream and Hellmanns, Amora
  and Calvé mayonnaises

Animal Welfare

• Animal Welfare is included in the Unilever
  Sustainable Agriculture Code. This code covers
  practices that all our suppliers should strive to
  achieve.
• We encourage our suppliers to participate in
  initiatives to define good animal welfare
  practices and improvement programmes in the
  countries and/or regions where they are sourcing,
  processing and marketing products from animal
  origin.
• We will include animal welfare criteria for eggs
  and dairy ingredients in our sustainable sourcing
  programme.
• Our long-term ambition is to purchase all our
  animal-derived ingredients from sustainable
  sources.

Good Eggs for Hellmanns

• 2009 Hellmanns moved to cage-free eggs across
  Western Europe
• March 2010 we changed the Hellmanns Light
  recipe to use exclusively cage-free eggs in the
  US and Canada
• May 2010 we announced a move to use free-range
  eggs in Europe
