Reports & Publications
We publish many documents and reports about our activities concerning the environment and society.
Main publications
Our online Sustainable Development Report 2008 provides a full account of our social, economic and environmental performance. We have also produced a short printed document – our Sustainable Development Overview 2008 – to complement our website report. The Overview is available to download along with other publications related to our sustainability initiatives: agriculture, biofuels, climate change and water. Under Agriculture, for example, you'll find more detailed information regarding Good Agricultural Practice Guidelines for our key crops.
Our Global challenges – local actions series, published a few years ago, still provides an insight into how we work with partners to achieve mutual goals. Examples include training Indian women to become rural entrepreneurs, tackling iodine deficiency in Africa through our Annapurna brand, and improving ice cream cabinet technology in Europe.
Further down the list you'll find corporate responsibility reports from some of our local operations eg in Brazil and the UK, and studies to understand our wider impacts as a company in Indonesia and South Africa. Other information on our homecare market, such as innovations in detergents, is also included.
Using the index on the left, you can also view a back catalogue of publications from previous years that shows how our reporting has developed. Copies of our earlier Sustainable Development Reports and separate Social and Environmental reports can be found here.
