We’ve set ambitious goals. Climate action to hit net zero, reducing plastic, regenerating agriculture, raising living standards in our value chain. Through our Compass commitments we’re taking action to improve people’s health, the planet and build a fairer, inclusive world.

Our business will not prosper without a healthy planet and a healthy society.

The Unilever Compass is our road map and strategy for delivering an ambitious sustainability agenda that works to drive climate action to reach net zero, reduce plastic as part of a waste-free world, regenerate nature and agriculture, and raise living standards in our value chain.

And we are we are harnessing the power our people, our brands and our partnerships to help tackle the most pressing issues.

As Unilever CEO Alan Jope says: “Climate change, nature degradation, biodiversity decline, water scarcity – all these issues are interconnected, and we must address them all simultaneously.

“In doing so, we must recognise that the climate crisis is not only an environmental emergency; it also has a terrible impact on lives and livelihoods. We, therefore, have a responsibility to help tackle the crisis: as a business, and through direct action by our brands.”

So how do these actions genuinely impact people and the planet? Here’s a brief look at the difference just some of our initiatives are making.
