5. Our VISION

6. WHAT MAKES OUR PLAN DISTINCTIVE?

WHAT MAKES OUR PLAN DISTINCTIVE?
All brands
All countries
Lifecycle impacts
Not just
the environment
3 things make the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan distinctive:
First it spans all our brands in all the countries where we sell them, not just a few specialist niche products.
Second, when it comes to the environment, we take responsibility not just for the direct impacts of our factories but across the lifecycle – from the sourcing of raw materials all the way through to the energy and water needed by people to cook, clean and wash with our products.
Third, for Unilever, sustainability isn’t just about the environment. There are social and economic dimensions too. Our products make a difference to people’s health and well-being and our supply chain supports the livelihoods of millions.

Helping consumers use less water & energy
Our second big challenge is reducing our environmental impacts across the value chain and, in particular, in the consumer use phase of our value chain
We are making some progress. For example, take up of concentrated and compacted detergents, which reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to half, have doubled since  In 2012 we were the market leader in liquid detergents, which have a lower greenhouse gas footprint than powders, in emerging markets with a market share of over 25%.
And sales of our dry shampoos, which reduce greenhouse gases by around 90% compared to washing hair with heated water, grew by 19% in Consumer research in the US shows that a dry shampoo replaced a wet shampoo in 60% of uses.
This suggests dry shampoo is a potential way to reduce the use of heated water in the shower, by offering a motivating beauty benefit which leads to a sustainable behaviour.
So far we’ve reduced the greenhouse impact of our products per consumer use by 6% while the water use has remained broadly the same.
So to reach our target of halving the environmental footprint of our products across the lifecycle by 2020, we have to find new and different ways to help people reduce the water and energy they use in the home to wash and clean with our products.

15. 4% reduction in pack weight 3.5% increase in recycling rates
GHG and waste reduction
We are making good progress with extensive programmes to light weight bottles, maximise the volume of recycled polymer we use and ensure that all our packaging is easy for the recycling industry to process.
So, for example,
when we relaunched Vaseline worldwide, we designed the new pack in such a way that we save 113 tonnes of plastic a year.
when we launched Dove Men + Care, we designed the bottle so that it included 25% recycled content from the outset.
and as we relaunched Hellmann’s mayonnaise worldwide we designed the container so that it uses one material rather than two, making it possible to recycle.

16. Sourcing sustainably
By 2020 we will source 100% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably: 10% by 2010; 30% by 2012; 50% by 2015; 100% by 2020
