THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS: OMO Case Study
Unilever has, from its origins, been a purpose-driven company.
Today our purpose is simple but clear- to
make sustainable living commonplace.
We are living in a world where temperatures are rising, water
shortages are more frequent, food supplies are
increasingly scarce and the gap between rich and poor increasing.
Populations are growing fast, making
basic hygiene and sanitation even more of a challenge. At Unilever
we can see how people from all over the
world are already affected by these changes. And the changes will
pose new challenges for us too, as
commodity costs fluctuate, markets become unstable and raw
materials harder to source.
We believe that business must be part of the solution. But to be
so, business will have to change; there is not
'business as usual anymore'. Sustainable, equitable growth is the
only acceptable business model. Our vision
is to grow our business, whilst reducing our environmental
footprint and increasing our positive social
impact.
In 2010 we launched the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, which is
our blueprint for sustainable business. We
will achieve our vision through our Plan, which is helping us to
decouple our growth from our environmental
impact while increasing our positive social impact, driving
profitable growth for our brands, saving costs and
fueling innovation.
The Plan sets stretching targets across our business and our full
product /ifecycle, including how we source
raw materials through to how consumers use our brands. The scale of
our ambition means that we are
finding new ways to partner with others in business, government and
society to achieve change.
