Along these lines, the company is committed to:
- Develop a one billion euro plant-based food business with the aim of increasing access and reach of alternative meat and dairy products. This project comes about through proposals such as The Vegetarian Butcher and vegan alternatives from brands such as Hellmann’s, Magnum and Wall’s.
- Cut food waste in half at Unilever’s direct operations from factory to supermarket by 2025 – five years ahead of originally planned as part of the Champions 12.3 target.
- By 2025, double the number of products that provide positive nutrition, defined as products containing significant amounts of vegetables, fruits, proteins or micronutrients (such as vitamins, zinc, iron and iodine)
- Continuously reduce the amount of calories, salt and sugar in all products.
85% of Unilever’s food portfolio will be compatible with a diet offering a maximum daily intake of 5g of salt by 2022. For packaged ice cream, 95% of the products contain a maximum of 22 g total sugars and 250 Kcal per serving by 2025.
Hanneke Faber, President of Unilever’s Food and Refreshments Division, said: “These are bold and ambitious goals, but as one of the world’s largest food companies, we just need to help transform the global food system. It’s not up to us to decide what people want to eat, but it’s up to us to make healthier, plant-based options available to everyone.”.
“As one of the largest food-producing companies in the world, we play a fundamental role in promoting a fairer, healthier and more sustainable global food system. These commitments challenge us to rethink the industry, strengthen our business, and care for people and the planet.he added Karen visental, Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Unilever Latin America and Southern Cone.
