Davison's comments perhaps allude to the fact that Unilever has been criticized in the past for its plastic pollution footprint. A report by the NGO Tearfund last year placed it third highest in the world after Coca-Cola and Nestlé – its annual footprint accounting for more than 70,000 tonnes of plastic waste, or 11 football pitches a day. Therefore the separation of church and state would likely accelerate its ambitions to climate positivity, as well as the overarching B-corp certification Davison wishes for.
