Doing business ethically – and with integrity
We know that our stakeholders care deeply about the same issues that we also care about.
So we’re driving a progressive, responsible business agenda across a range of issues – from keeping our people safe to making sure we adhere to the very highest standards in our marketing, innovation and product quality.
Because sustainable business starts with responsible business.

Business integrity
We have strong values and clear policies and standards to ensure our employees not only do things right but also do the right thing.

Advertising and marketing
Advertising helps inform people about the benefits of our products and innovations. It is also a way for us to engage with consumers on issues that matter to them.

Alternatives to animal testing
Every product Unilever makes must be safe for people to use and safe for our planet. We believe that animal experiments should not be used to make sure that our products are safe.

Conflict minerals
We aim to not use conflict minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries that have been mined in support of armed conflict in any products.

Disasters and emergencies
We’re using our resources, expertise, products and networks to help communities better prepare for natural and man-made disasters and pandemics, and to support people forced from their homes.

Employee wellbeing
We aim to promote a positive physical and mental health environment in the workplace, to enable our people to thrive.

Engaging with stakeholders
We’re on a mission – to bring real change to improve life for people and protect our planet. But we can't do this alone.

Farm animal welfare
More and more people are concerned about animal welfare – and it’s a topic we take seriously.

Safety at work
We want to grow our business responsibly. That means safety is not negotiable – it’s our number one priority.

Responsible taxpayer
Tax, particularly international tax, is a key issue for us, our stakeholders and other interested parties.

Product safety and quality
Consumers trust us to provide them and their families with high-quality products. We design and manufacture our products so they’re safe for their intended use.

Responsible innovation
Science with objectivity and integrity underlines our approach to responsible innovation.

Safeguarding data
Unilever respects the privacy of all individuals, including our employees and consumers. We handle any personal data and digital information we hold about them responsibly.
