Customers & suppliers
We aim to manage our sustainability issues across our entire value chain. This involves working closely with our customers and our suppliers.
Issues & our approach
The past few years have seen many of our large international customers taking a strong stance on sustainability issues, with some ambitious targets in areas such as energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste.
We continue to assess our suppliers against our Business Partner Code and we are working with our peers to create a common approach to supplier assessment.
Suppliers
We have adopted the assessment methodologies of the SEDEX system as standard practice within Unilever.
Customers
In a rapidly changing customer landscape, sustainability issues are becoming a much bigger part of our interaction with large retailers.
