Our Footprint

We measure the full lifecycle

Cross-category metrics

We measure at two levels Total footprint (absolute) –Allows prioritisation across Unilever. Per consumer use (relative) This means, for example, the amount of CO2e emitted as a result of the lifecycle emissions of a single dose of shampoo or a single serving of tea. Allows comparability between diverse product formats Easier for innovators to create sustainable product design

An unprecedented effort 14 countries, covering 70% of total Unilever volumes 1600 skus measured, representing 30,000 skus across all regions and categories 1.3 trillion consumer uses / year assessed

Focus on packaging waste metric

Halve the waste associated with the disposal of our products by 2020.* Recycle packaging Working in partnership with industry, governments and NGOs, we aim to increase recycling and recovery rates on average by 5% by 2015, and by 15% by 2020 in our top 14 countries. For some this means doubling or even tripling existing recycling rates. We will make it easier for consumers to recycle our packaging by using materials that best fit the end-of-life treatment facilities available in their countries. By 2020 we will increase the recycled material content in our packaging to maximum possible levels. This will act as a catalyst to increase recycling rates. Reduce packaging By 2020 we will reduce the weight of packaging that we use by a third through: Light-weighting materials. Optimising structural and material design. Developing concentrated versions of our products. Eliminating unnecessary packaging. Reuse packaging We will provide consumers with refills in our home and personal care portfolio to make it possible to reuse the primary pack.

Reduce waste from our manufacturing By 2020 total waste sent for disposal will be at or below 2008 levels despite significantly higher volumes. This represents an 80% reduction per tonne of production and a 70% absolute reduction (versus a 1995 baseline). All newly built factories will aim to generate less than half the waste of current ones. Eliminate PVC We will eliminate PVC from all packaging by 2012 (where technical solutions exist). Focus on packaging waste metric Tackle sachet waste Our goal is to develop and implement a sustainable business model for handling our sachet waste streams by 2015.
