What they argued
Unilever welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a Biotech Act II, recognising biotechnology as a strategic enabler for Europes clean transition, industrial competitiveness, and long-term resilience.
Unilevers Climate Transition Action Plan confirms that decarbonising electricity and heat is central to delivery of its targets, with a commitment to reduce operational emissions from electricity and heat by 100% by 2030. This makes stalled electrification a direct risk to delivery. Unilever has plans to spend 150 million to manufacturing decarbonisation, including electrifying thermal processes.
Unilever welcomes the European Commission's initiative to establish harmonized rules for calculating and verifying recycled plastic content, including chemically recycled materials. The company supports a technology-neutral approach that promotes innovation, environmental integrity, and transparency. The paper outlines Unilever's position on the proposed methodology and verification requirements.
Unilevers Annual Report and Accounts 2025 identify energy efficiency as an integral component of reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions and managing climate related transition risks. The report confirms that efficiency improvements form part of Unilevers operational decarbonisation approach, alongside renewable electricity procurement and electrification of heat.
Unilever believes that every product we make must be safe for people and for our planet and welcomes the Commissions initiative to evaluate the Cosmetic Product Regulation (CPR). CPR is a consumer-oriented legislation that is fit for purpose and effective. It has positively served the needs of consumers and regulators to ensure safety and compliance.
Unilever welcomes the Commissions Omnibus on Taxation as a timely chance to simplify European Union tax rules. In the current economic environment, tax policy is a strategic mechanism to attract investment and support innovation.
