Our Nutrition Policy
Nutrition is a key growth driver for our business. As a leader in the global food market, Unilever is committed to market great-tasting foods that will make the healthy choice an easy choice. We will help our consumers everywhere to achieve nutritional balance, leading to a vital and healthy life.
A policy & a promise
Our brand teams and operating divisions are responsible for implementing this policy and for strengthening our continuing efforts to:
- Develop a deep understanding of consumers’ nutrition and health needs and wants
- Know the nutritional composition and dietary role of our products
- Label our products in a consumer-friendly and meaningful way
- Optimize the nutritional composition of our products to meet consumer needs and wants
- Undertake and support scientific research to provide evidence for benefit claims for our products
- Ensure responsible communication about product benefits to health care professionals and consumers
- Seek external partnerships to develop mutual understanding and agree on common approaches in nutrition and health programs
Marketing responsibly
Our nutrition policy underpins all our product development. However, we recognize that the way we market our products is equally as important as the principles by which they are developed. To this end, Unilever has established a set of marketing principles to be applied by all our foods and beverage businesses around the world. These ensure that we are "honest, decent and truthful" in our communication with consumers, particularly in regard to important issues such as marketing to children.
