Unilever published a sustainable paper and board packaging sourcing policy as part of its commitment to double the size of the business while reducing its environmental impact.
The policy outlines the company’s goal to work with its suppliers to source 75 percent of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or from recycled material by 2015, rising to 100 percent by 2020.
The commitment makes Unilever the first global FMCG company to commit to sourcing all of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or recycled material within a clearly defined timeframe.
For the company’s requirements for paper from virgin sources, preference will be given to supplies delivered through the Forest Stewardship Council certification scheme. Unilever will also accept other national schemes under the framework of international Forest Management Certification standards, provided they comply with the Policy’s Implementation Guidelines.
