  • Unilever joins IDH coalition in backing Aceh Tamiang in its bid to become a sustainability leader

The compact’s three-year program will increase forest protection and reforestation, improve monitoring, support smallholder farmers to increase its sustainable palm oil productivity by 30 percent, and finally to protect an area within the Leuser Ecosystem.
