Being A Good Corporate Citizen Helps Unilever Grow Its Business

Unilever said that, three years after its launch, the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan has helped the company's East and Southern Africa division advance significantly toward its goal of doubling business while reducing its environmental footprint. USLP is the company's contribution to global efforts in "easing pressure on the world's resources," according to Unilever East and Southern Africa managing director Yaw Nsarkoh. Toilet soaps manufactured by Unilever help reduce the incidence of diarrhea and upper respiratory infections in Kenya, where 30,000 children under five years die from these diseases each year.
