Unilever will stop using unclear sustainability claims on its product packaging after discussions with the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). The company will adjust most packaging by January 2026, following complaints about misleading claims such as 'sustainably grown peanuts' and 'sustainable packaging'.
