Sustainable Development Overview 2008

Our summary Sustainable Development Overview 2008 is available to download as a 34-page PDF below.

The Overview explains how we are integrating sustainability into our business and brands and through them contributing to improved health, nutrition and hygiene.

We discuss how, with our partners, we are addressing some of the critical challenges facing the world today such as sustainable farming, climate change, water stress and resource use. These are the topics we have defined as our most material issues.

The Overview also provides a summary of other important aspects of responsible business behaviour, including how we respond to consumer concerns, treat our employees, work in partnership with customers and suppliers, and take part in the life of our local communities.
