Unilever - Gandhidham - Sustainability

Operating in the water-scarce region of Kutch, Unilever Gandhidham has implemented a transformation focused on two critical sustainability topics: Climate and Nature. The initiative applied AI, digital twins and IIoT across the end-to-end supply chain to improve water stewardship, enable traceable palm oil sourcing, support sustainable formulations and refrigerants, strengthen disruption management and implement digitally-enabled aquifer recharge. As a result, the site cut water use by 17%, saved 6.12 billion litres of community water, reduced waste by 48%, lowered Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% through a transition to renewable energy, and contributed to a 12% reduction in Scope 3 emissions in the India Personal Care business, while supporting 24% growth for the site.
