Increase sales plant-based meat & dairy

Plant-based foods are better for the health of people and the planet. The EAT-Lancet Commission showed that if people eat more plant-based foods, emissions could be cut by up to 80%. Eating meat alternatives and vegetables (whatever their colour) really is a 'green', or environmentally friendly, thing to do. Eating a plant-based diet also benefits human health. Different studies have shown that plant-based diets can prevent diseases by improving glycaemic control, reducing the risks of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and being overweight. There are also strong scientific indications that plant-based diets are generally associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, overall cancer incidence and/or mortality.We've been using our expertise and product knowledge for several years to increase consumer choice, by introducing more plant-based options. We've now embedded plant-based thinking into our Unilever Food & Refreshment strategy and we will grow our portfolio delivering more meat and dairy alternatives. This commitment is aligned with the Responsible Business Pledge, commitment area Product (Re)formulation and Innovation for Improved Nutrition.
