“Corporate sustainability at Unilever”Greening the bottom line is “right on target” at Unilever, whose brands are purchased 160 million times per day. Unilever’s holistic approach to sustainability has found the sweet spot between business interests and social well-being. Approach Highlights ► Actively involved in a number of initiatives that promote sustainable practices around the world. ► Seven environmental indicators: chemical oxygen demand, hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste, water, energy, CO2 from energy, and boiler/utilities sulphur oxides drive annual targets for each plant. ► Established an Energy Team to examine energy savings opportunities and to engage employees at their Rexdale plant. Results ► A condensing economizer which recovered heat that would otherwise be lost saves the company roughly $378,000 a year. ► Retrofitting existing T-12 fluorescent lighting with T-8 fluorescent lighting and installing motion sensors had a 2.6 year payback. ► Treating and diverting hot process waste-water to feed the boilers saves Rexdale over $380,000 a year. ► Waste oils are turned into a biofuel for the boilers to generate heat and steam, saving money and cutting emissions in the process. |
