The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan

Unilever Indonesia has an extensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program that is founded on the principles of our Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP). The three pillars of the USLP are :

The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan is our blueprint for achieving our vision to grow our business, whilst decoupling our environmental footprint from our growth and increasing our positive social impact.

The Plan sets stretching targets, including how we source raw materials and 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.

Faced with the challenge of climate change and the need for human development, we want to move towards a world where everyone can live well and within the natural limits of the planet. That’s why our purpose is ‘to make sustainable living commonplace’.
