Those days are gone when we were not aware of the destruction we are causing to Earth. Even multinational consumer goods company, Unilever has time and again pointed out the use of plastic and promoted sustainable living. In Pakistan, Unilever has often been spotted carrying out Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaigns and other activities to make the planet a better place to live in the future.
