In this episode of GZT Brand Sins series, Special Content Editor Esmanur Küçükislamoğlu Aydın discussed the 'Unilever' brand, which has come to the fore with many problems such as slavery, child labor, destruction of forests, testing of animals, toxic waste storage, human and worker injustices.
Why boycott Unilever? To give an excerpt from the news published on his website:
"Unilever is proud of our business in Israel, which provides everyday household products to people across the country. Today, Unilever Israel employs approximately 2,000 people from diverse backgrounds, has four local production facilities and works with a network of approximately 2,000 local suppliers and service providers helps support the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Israelis across the value chain.
Over the last decade, Unilever has invested more than 1 billion Shekels (approximately €250 million) in our business in Israel. "We look forward to continuing to contribute positively to Israel's economy and society for decades to come."
