14. KELLOGG’S “NATURAL” KASHI
In April 2012, a grocer in Rhode
Island found out Kellogg’s Kashi
used genetically engineered, non-
organic ingredients, and pulled Kashi
products from his store's shelves and
later posted pictures and notification
through social networking tools, some
customers began to call into question
Kellogg's use of the term "natural" used
on Kashi product labels.
Kashi's general manager responded by
stating, "The FDA has chosen not to
regulate the term 'natural.'"

On April 30, 2012, Kashi introduced its “Kashi
Commitment,” an initiative to increase the use of
organic ingredients and partner with The Non-GMO
Project. Kashi states that, based on pounds, “by the
end of 2015 over half of [Kashi's] food will be Non-
GMO Project Verified” and that they will “continue to
increase the use of organic ingredients where
possible” while maintaining a focus on positive
nutrition.
As of August 2012, nine Kashi products
are Non-GMO Project Verified.

30. COLLABORATE TO INNOVATE
Through the Unilever Foundation, the company is are partnering

Children, UNICEF, and the World Food Programme. The
Foundation is dedicated to improving quality of life through the

basic nutrition and enhancing self-esteem. Drizzlin Media®

31. ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY
-ENCOURAGING BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
Consumers told Unilever they feel powerless to make a
difference: the scale of the challenge is too great and their
individual actions are too small. Unilever wants consumers to
understand how their brand choices and small actions, when
added to those of others, can make a big difference across the
world. Many of their brands have run campaigns to raise
awareness and encourage changes in behaviours.

32. INVOLVE YOUR EMPLOYEES
Unilever is starting to link progress to reward. An increasing
number of managers, from the CEO downward, have
sustainability goals as part of their compensation.
