Environmental Risks & Impact
• Measured by voliume, around half of Unilever's raw materials are agricultural or forestry products. As a result, the company's principle environmental concerns are changing weather patterns, water-scarcity and unsustainable farming practices.
• Unilever measures its product categories against four green indicators covering water, waste, sustainable sourcing and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Most CO2 emissions associated with Unilever brands occur during consumer use as products require energy to heat water for cooking and washing.
