Case Study: Unilever advances climate justice across its value chain with BSR

Developing a Climate Justice Framework

Unilever PLC, a major global consumer goods company, sought to deepen its understanding of climate justice and ensure its climate strategy placed people and equity at its core. The company engaged the sustainability advisory firm BSR to help integrate this concept across its global operations and value chain.

BSR implemented a two-part solution, beginning with an internal workshop to raise awareness. They then conducted focus groups with employees in 10 diverse markets to gather firsthand accounts of climate change impacts and identify systemic inequalities. BSR synthesized these findings into tailored, context-based recommendations for Unilever. As a result, Unilever gained a clear, personal understanding of climate justice from a value chain perspective and built a strong foundation for further action, positioning the company to address these issues through its operations and collaborations.
