DELIVERING POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT BUILDING OUR BUSINESS I am pleased to share the Unilever Foundation’s first annual update. Unilever has a long, rich history in addressing social issues through our business and brands. However, the world today is facing unprecedented challenges. To unlock human potential and irreversibly reduce poverty, business must play a proactive role in helping improve the quality of life for all and catalyse sustainable economic growth. At Unilever, we aim to double the size of our business while reducing our environmental footprint and increasing our positive social impact. To help drive the type of transformational change necessary to improve people’s lives, we launched the Unilever Foundation in 2012. The Foundation focuses on a select number of unmet social needs that our business can play a unique role in addressing. Additionally, it is one important action we are taking to meet the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan’s ambitious goal of helping more than one billion people improve their health and well-being while creating a sustainable future. It reinforces my firm conviction of the power of partnerships, and I am honoured to work with some of the best in the field. We have made good progress and could not have achieved as much as we have to date without the drive and dedication of our partners. In the first year, the Foundation positively impacted the lives of more than 14.5 million people via: 1 • Creating multi-faceted partnerships with five leading global organizations. • Connecting with consumers on social issues through brands they know and trust. PAUL POLMAN, CEO • Advocating for policies designed to address some of PAUL POLMAN, CEO today’s global health challenges. • Providing critical resources in response to emergencies and ongoing community needs. • Supporting programmes in communities where we live and work. • Identifying new ways to engage our employees in important social issues. We have learnt a lot that has helped Unilever’s commitment to being a force for good, as building a better society goes hand-in-hand with building a more sustainable business. Now it’s time to set the bar even higher.

This programme takes a holistic approach to child malnutrition by: • Using locally sourced ingredients. • Cooking with essential micronutrient powders. • Providing education on nutrition, health and hygiene. Results indicate that when children receive a hot, nutritious meal every day at school, they are more likely to come to school and are able to concentrate better in class.
