Unilever
Unilever's biggest impacts do not come from its own operations. Our 264 factories account for only a small proportion of our emissions. These are issues which we cannot tackle alone.

Our ambition is to purchase all our key crops from sustainable sources. We have already taken the lead in many areas.
