Our programmes

What sustainability programmes does Unilever Ghana run?

Responsible sourcing

Unilever Ghana works with local suppliers to source raw materials responsibly, supporting Ghanaian farmers and shortening supply chains.

For brands like Frytol, deeper local oil-palm sourcing improves traceability while supporting smallholder livelihoods.

Plastics & packaging

The company is working to reduce the amount of plastic in its packaging and to design packs that can be recycled.

This includes lighter packaging and clearer on-pack guidance to help consumers dispose of packs responsibly.

Community & hygiene

Through Lifebuoy, Unilever Ghana runs handwashing and hygiene programmes in schools and communities.

These campaigns teach simple habits — washing hands with soap at key moments — that help protect families' health.

Water & environment

At its Tema operations, the company works to use water efficiently and to reduce the environmental footprint of manufacturing.

Efficiency measures target lower water use per tonne of production over time.

Powering Ghana's households, responsibly

Our brands are in millions of Ghanaian homes. We take that responsibility seriously.
