Sustainable Living
Find out how we are driving positive change and sustainable growth through our business, our brands and our partners.
How did we do?
After ten years of the USLP, we can see the impact Unilever has made globally.
The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan
The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan sets out to decouple our growth from our environmental footprint, while increasing our positive social impact.
Our Plan has three big goals to achieve, underpinned by nine commitments and targets spanning our social, environmental and economic performance across the value chain. We will continue to work with others to focus on those areas where we can drive the biggest change and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We have three big goals

and well-being
for more than

By 2030 our goal is to halve the environmental footprint of the making and use of our products as we grow our business.*

Following our Compass
But, as our USLP comes to end in 2020, where do we go next?
We're more certain than ever that the course we're on is the right one – for us, and for the world. And armed with the experience of our USLP, we are setting out to create a movement in which our suppliers, customers and consumers are all part of building a better future.
What does that business look like?
We believe it has to be purpose-led and future-fit – and that it has to drive superior performance.
To get there, we will follow our new Compass – a single sustainable business strategy based on three core beliefs:
