The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan sets out how the company aims to double its size whilst reducing its environmental impact. By 2020 the company aims to: halve the environmental footprint of products; source 100% of agricultural raw materials sustainably; help more than one billion people take action to improve their health and well-being. For Unilever ammonia is THE sustainable refrigerant for industrial refrigeration, and since 2003 the company has started to introduce hydrocarbon freezer cabinets. By the end of 2011 Unilever will have rolled-out 800,000 cabinets. Unilever is now the chair of Refrigerants Naturally!
