2013: Life on the Edge of the Sustainability Cliff

: Most corporate sustainability budgets were flat in 2012 and will likely be constrained heading into 2013.

Unilever’s sustainability programs provide a blueprint for how visionary CEOs can lead on sustainability while being profitable and delivering value to shareholders.
