Unilever Indonesia uses the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to understand what impact their products can
have on the environment. LCA is used by Unilever in three ways, namely new product design, existing
products, and the development of science and methodology. This helps Unilever Indonesia to be able to
compare their new products with existing products so, they can use the information as a guide in
product development during the innovation process and communicate the environmental performance
of their products to consumers. In 2010, Unilever Indonesia established a Unilever Sustainable Living
Plan (USLP) strategy to regulate how Unilever Indonesia develops its business but can also reduce its
impact on the environment while enhancing good benefits for its users. The USLP strategy was
established with three big goals, namely to improve the health and well-being of more than 1 billion
people, reduce the impact of their products on the environment by half and supply 100% agricultural
raw materials sustainably and improve livelihoods for millions of people.
