Unilever Philippines journey to net zero
Recent energy shocks and catastrophic natural disasters in early 2026 have intensified the urgency of climate action.
Unilever Philippines has made significant strides in its journey towards net zero emissions, driven by the increasing urgency of climate action and the impact of recent energy shocks and natural disasters. The company has set ambitious science-based targets to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 100 percent by 2030, achieving a 77 percent reduction by the end of 2025.
Unilever Philippines has achieved this through early investments in renewable energy, transitioning to 100 percent renewable grid electricity, installing solar rooftop panels, and electrifying its thermal processes. Additionally, the company is committed to transitioning its owned fleet to 100 percent hybrid electric vehicles by 2030.
Recognizing the need to address the bulk of its climate footprint across the value chain, Unilever Philippines is also working with suppliers to accelerate Scope 3 emissions reduction through the Supplier Climate Program. The company's efforts align with its broader principle of a low-carbon transition requiring partnerships to enable action across diverse sectors.
Unilever Philippines has joined the Net Zero Carbon Alliance, a cross-sector organization aimed at advancing decarbonization in the Philippines, and participated in the recent NZCA Philippine Net Zero Conference to discuss strategies for the country's low-carbon economic transformation.
