Case Study: Unilever improves supply chain sustainability transparency with Muddy Boots

Driving Sustainability Agenda with Suppliers

Unilever was looking to reduce its environmental impact across the supply chain while measuring supplier progress against its Sustainable Agriculture Code, part of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. To support this sustainability challenge, Unilever enlisted MuddyBoots and its Greenlight Assessments self-assessment solution for fresh produce suppliers.

MuddyBoots implemented Greenlight Assessments to let suppliers self-assess, track progress, and create evidence-based improvement plans, while giving Unilever reporting visibility by supplier, country, and product. The result was significantly improved communication and transparency across the supply chain, with more than 230 key suppliers benefiting from the platform and faster issue identification compared with paper-based reviews.
