How is Unilever a good example of lobbying transparency?

Companies and employees should take note in particular of the resulting actionable outcomes of these recent trade association audits, and aim to follow best practices demonstrated in Unilever’s trade association analysis. According to Unilever’s report, the company reviews its membership of industry associations on an annual basis and is committed to conducting a full, global industry association review every three years. Most importantly, the report explicitly calls for action, urging “our most influential industry associations to be more actively engaged in promoting outcomes and policies that can help the economy – and Unilever – to decarbonize faster,” and for trade associations to “work constructively with policymakers to implement policies that will deliver real emissions reductions.” Unilever is also advocating for policy action including nature protections, support for renewable energy and carbon pricing as part of its new Climate Transition Action Plan.
