Case Study: Unilever improves first-mile palm fruit supply chain visibility with Premise

Unilever maps thousands of palm fruit collection points with Premise

Unilever, a leading multinational consumer goods company, faced a challenge with a lack of visibility into the first mile of its palm fruit supply chain in remote Indonesia. To address this and meet its commitment to supply chain accountability, Unilever partnered with the vendor Premise to map the practices and locations of its suppliers.

Premise deployed its network of Contributors to photograph and gather data on thousands of palm fruit collection points. The solution provided Unilever with unprecedented insights, revealing that small, informal sites were more common than assumed and supplied the majority of fruit. This data enabled Unilever to update its operations directory, understand pricing factors, and become more transparent and data-driven in its sustainability efforts.
