24 Apr 2024 --- Unilever has revealed plans to scale back some of its sustainability targets, including more responsible packaging, backing for SMEs and support for the living wage, in a move that has drawn criticism from NGOs. The FMCG giant’s CEO, Hein Schumacher, said in a recent statement that the company would be more focused on allocating resources to its biggest sustainability priorities. “The reality is that Unilever’s sustainability agenda covers a wide range of issues,” he said. “But we have learned from experience that we need to be more focused in our allocation of resources to make tangible progress on the big, complex challenges we face.”
