Unilever Caribbean Ltd has been recog­nised by SWF&CO pub­lic re­la­tions for its “In­no­va­tion in Sus­tain­able Prod­ucts for Liv­ing.”

The award was an­nounced dur­ing SWF&CO’s re­cent 30th an­niver­sary cel­e­bra­tions, in which the PR firm ex­pressed grat­i­tude to its part­ners and clients and ac­knowl­edged out­stand­ing achieve­ments.

Ac­cord­ing to a state­ment from SWF, Unilever Caribbean Ltd cen­tres its work around the core pur­pose of mak­ing sus­tain­able liv­ing com­mon­place in the Caribbean.

“The In­ter­na­tion­al Unilever Group has in­vest­ed heav­i­ly in its clean fu­ture re­search strat­e­gy which aims to re­think plas­tic pack­ag­ing, re­place the use of fos­sil-fu­el de­rived car­bon with re­new­able or re­cy­cled car­bon in its clean­ing prod­ucts, and pro­duce ze­ro emis­sions in its op­er­a­tions by 2030,” it added.

SWF&CO added Unilever is al­so aligned with the over­ar­ch­ing group’s vi­sion, Unilever Caribbean Ltd, to pro­vide a range of sus­tain­able brands to the lo­cal mar­ket in keep­ing with lo­cal re­al­i­ties and pri­or­i­ties.

“Through­out the pan­dem­ic Unilever main­tained close con­tact with cus­tomers, in­tro­duc­ing new an­tibac­te­r­i­al lines and fa­cil­i­tat­ing pack­age ren­o­va­tions to bet­ter suit the de­mands of the time,” SWF said. Jean-Marc Mout­tet, man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of Unilever Caribbean, said the com­pa­ny it was “ex­treme­ly grat­i­fy­ing” to re­ceive an award that ac­knowl­edged Unilever’s com­mit­ment to sup­port­ing sus­tain­able liv­ing in the re­gion.

“We are dri­ven to ac­cel­er­ate growth in our busi­ness while re­duc­ing our en­vi­ron­men­tal foot­print and in­creas­ing our pos­i­tive so­cial im­pact,” he said.

Mout­tet al­so not­ed Unilever con­tin­ues to lead and shape the lo­cal mar­ket through rel­e­vant con­sumer-dri­ven in­no­va­tion.

SWF&CO pub­lic re­la­tions al­so pre­sent­ed cor­po­rate achieve­ment awards to ten of its clients and part­ners.
