- This is an unclaimed profile. DR SWEAT has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
DR SWEAT appears to sit under Unilever’s wider consumer goods sustainability strategy rather than having a separate public ESG profile of its own. The available material focuses on Unilever’s company-wide work on climate, plastics, supply chains, and product safety. That includes cutting emissions across its factories and suppliers, reducing virgin plastic, and improving labour conditions in its supply chain. Some independent commentary says Unilever has made real progress, but also that it has slowed or extended some targets, especially on packaging. There is not enough brand-specific third-party evidence here to judge DR SWEAT on its own sustainability performance. Positive Sentiment Found Independent commentary in the source material says Unilever has made real progress on climate and packaging. One ESG article says the company has cut direct operational emissions by more than 70% since 2015, now runs all factories on renewable grid electricity, and has a supplier programme that works with around 300 key suppliers on emissions data and reductions. The same material says Unilever has reduced virgin plastic use by 23% from 2019 levels and raised recycled plastic to 21% of packaging in 2024, with 22% reported by early 2025. It also notes support for a global plastics treaty, which suggests the company is pushing for wider industry rules rather than acting alone. Common Criticisms: The source material also contains clear criticism. One article says Unilever has scaled back or extended some sustainability targets, especially on plastics, after earlier promises proved hard to meet. It says the company missed its goal to halve virgin plastic by 2025 and later revised the target to smaller cuts with longer deadlines. The same material says Greenpeace criticised Unilever for weak progress on plastic waste, and that a UK regulator launched a greenwashing investigation into some of the company’s environmental claims. Another concern is that most of Unilever’s emissions come from Scope 3 sources, meaning suppliers and product use, which makes progress harder to prove and leaves more room for gaps in transparency.

2039
Reach net-zero emissions
Unilever says it plans to reach net-zero emissions across its full value chain by 2039. That means it wants to reduce emissions as far as possible and deal with the rest through removals or offsets. The target covers both its own operations and its supply chain, which is important because most of its emissions come from outside its factories.
2030
Eliminate own-operation emissions
Unilever says it is on track to remove emissions from its own operations by 2030. These are Scope 1 and 2 emissions, meaning pollution from its sites and purchased electricity. The company says it has already made a large cut and now runs all factories on renewable grid electricity.
2026
Cut virgin plastic by one-third
Unilever says it now aims to reduce virgin plastic use by one-third by 2026. Virgin plastic is new plastic made from fossil fuels. This target replaced an earlier promise to halve virgin plastic by 2025, which the company said it would likely miss.
