Tea and Sustainability at Unilever: Turning Over a New Leaf -
Andrew Hoffman
Unilever has successfully rolled out an initiative to sustainably source Lipton tea, and Unilever CEO Paul Polman is wondering if the company could apply the same concepts to its wider portfolio of products. If Unilever scaled the initiative to the rest of the organization, it would have to find a way to integrate sustainability into its corporate strategy, reduce environmental impact, and boost social good -- all while increasing profits. | | | | | | | | | |
