This is Unilever’s inaugural report on human rights. It is also the first report to use the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework comprehensively...To help elevate the authenticity of our work in respecting human rights and to engage the communities we serve, in April 2014 we committed to report on our implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights – publicly disclosing our efforts and challenges.This report represents our commitment to document the foundational steps we have taken. Our objectives in sharing this report are: to highlight our efforts in embedding the respect and promotion of human rights into the fabric of our business; to outline the salient issues we face; to report on our progress publicly and share our challenges candidly; to outline our priorities for the future; and to seek feedback and guidance from our stakeholders. We share these in the spirit of continuous improvement, in the knowledge that the remaining challenges are considerable and in the hope that other businesses may benefit from the lessons we’ve learned so far.
