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.
