Unilever CSO urges trade associations to ‘do better’ on climate
Unilever is not opposed to withdrawing its membership from associations that refuse to adjust their positions on climate.
Unilever Chief Sustainability Officer Rebecca Marmot is urging trade associations to engage in a more constructive way with policymakers on climate issues as the company works to ensure memberships are aligned with its own positions.
Companies are being urged to review their association memberships after it emerged that many are members of trade groups that actively oppose climate-positive policies, making them vulnerable to greenwashing accusations.
