02 May 2024 --- Unilever’s global head of packaging, Pablo Costa, has issued an extensive statement explaining the corporation’s recent decision to scale back its plastic reduction pledges, saying that overly ambitious targets were made with the best information available at the time, but circumstances have “disappointingly” changed. Yesterday, Greenpeace activists rallied in protest outside a Unilever shareholder meeting in London, UK. “While it’s important to acknowledge the progress we’ve made, we also recognize that we’ve fallen short against some of our most ambitious goals,” Costa writes.
