"We all play a key part in our green world."
We’ve come a long way since we launched our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) in 2010. Working in partnership with other businesses, governments and NGOs, we’ve strived to make a real difference in the world, but we know we have a long way to go yet. We don’t have all the answers.
One of the driving forces behind our USLP has been our employees who bring it to life every day. So, who better to help us continue to shape the plan and the future of our business? With this in mind, we launched the USLP: Through your eyes photography competition to give our people the opportunity to show us the issues that matter most to them.
Some 998 colleagues from 58 countries entered the competition, and a grand total of 9,414 photographs were submitted.
There were seven categories for employees to enter, all shaped around the themes and issues that matter most to the business and are in line with our commitment to help realise the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
Speaking about the competition, judge Rakiz Farooq, Finance Partner, Ice Cream & Rural, Pakistan, adds: “It was great to see so many fabulous photos – the scale of participation was incredible. These are not only amazing pictures, they were taken by our people, our employees. They have shared their world and vision of the future with us – that’s really moving."
Meet our employees and their incredible winning images.
