Exploring the Links Between International Business and Poverty Reduction: A Case Study of Unilever in Indonesia - New report from Oxfam GB, Novib and Unilever

Oxfam GB, Novib (Oxfam Netherlands), Unilever and Unilever Indonesia (UI), have collaborated on a research project to increase their understanding of the impacts of business on the lives of poor people and to explore the potential links between international business and poverty reduction. The report explores how, and to what extent, the operations of Unilever Indonesia have an impact on poverty – both positive and negative – in Indonesia. It looks at the impact of UI’s entire value chain, from its interactions with small-scale producers in the supply chain to those with low-income consumers.
