With this partnership, Walmart and Unilever are advancing an innovative new approach to help companies meet their climate goals.
Unilever, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., announced plans to commit to supporting work in Sabah, Malaysia, as part to achieve a deforestation-free supply chain and further reduce emissions. Unilever will help sustainably certify 60,000 hectares in Sabah as part of a program led by Forever Sabah, Malaysia; World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Switzerland; and the Palm Oil & NGO (PONGO) Alliance, UK. Sabah is pushing to certify 100% of the state’s palm oil production to Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification by 2025. According to WWF, this will help to reduce 17 million metric tons of CO2e in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
