Disclosures on Society impacts

This table provides an overview of our reporting against GRI G3 requirements for society impacts.

Level of disclosure

For each of these elements we state whether Unilever's reporting covers the requirements fully (F) or partially (P). Here we provide links or signposts to where this information can be found either in our online Sustainable Development Report (SDR) 2008 or in our Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) 2008.

Where core indicators are not deemed as material to our business for this year, we have marked this as NM (not material). Where we currently do not have information in our public reporting to answer a requirement we mark this as NA (not available). We will continue to review the availability of information in our reporting at Group level to meet stakeholder interests on our most important impacts.

Key

F = Full coverage
