Targeted Impact & Commitments

The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan

The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) is our blueprint for achieving our vision to grow our business, whilst decoupling our environmental footprint from our growth and increasing our positive social impact. The Plan sets stretching targets, including how we source raw materials and how consumers use our brands.

We have three big goals: 

1) Improve health and well-being for more than 1 billion: By 2020 we will help more than a billion people take action to improve their health and well-being.

2) Reducing environmental impact by 1/2: By 2030 our goal is to halve the environmental footprint of the making and use of our products as we grow our business.

3) Enhance livelihoods for millions: By 2020 we will enhance the livelihoods of millions of people as we grow our business.
