Unilever PLC – ‘Unilever’s Plantations’

CWDE* Award for Effective Communication

* Worldaware was formerly known as the Centre for World Development Education (CWDE).

Unilever’s plantations business and what it contributes to the countries where it operates are described in the illustrated booklet ‘Unilever’s Plantations: Developing agriculture in the developing world’.

It discusses the benefits under the headings: helping to meet food requirements; providing much needed foreign exchange; making the most of the land; creating jobs and passing on skills; investing capital; research and development; and protecting the ecological balance. It also discusses the plantation as a social unit.

With schools in mind, it adds profiles on crops and the countries in which Unilever grows them.
