Company Response

Paul Polman, CEO Unilever

Unilever response

"It is an honour to lead the rankings in this year’s Oxfam Behind the Brands scorecard. The results reflect the progress we are making to reduce our environmental footprint while increasing our social impact, guided by the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. The FMCG industry as a whole has made some strong commitments in recent years, notably in terms of value chain approach, however we must recognise that there is still much more to be done. This scorecard and other assessments are important reminders that we all have a responsibility to deliver more and faster for farmers, communities and societies around the world. The Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Agreement have provided us with a global framework towards progress, but can only be achieved through accelerated partnerships and collective action, to drive truly transformative change at scale."
