The Unilever Sustainable Agriculture Code is a collection of Good Practices which aim to codify important aspects of sustainability in farming and make them applicable to Unilever’s suppliers.
The Unilever Sustainable Agriculture Code is one of the major tools in its sustainable sourcing programme. Since 2010, when it was first launched, it has helped Unilever gain a clear overview of how quickly it is progressing towards its sustainability ambitions in agricultural sourcing. This year, Unilever is launching a new updated version of the Code to reflect the organization’s evolving understanding of sustainability and of the contexts – geographical, cultural and political – within which the farms it operates. As with the original version, the new Code sets out major targets for farms and suppliers to work towards, inspiring them to make sustainability mainstream. It is also closely aligned with other Unilever policies, such as eliminating deforestation.
