Marmot joined Unilever in 2007 as global vice president responsible for the newly merged company’s Sustainability, Global Advocacy and Policy functions and also serves on the global partnerships team, according to LinkedIn. Marmot has been CSO of Unilever since 2019.
“It’s been fantastic leading Unilever’s external engagement and sustainability work globally,” Marmot wrote in a November 4 post. “I have had the opportunity to work with inspiring and exciting partners from governments, investors, NGOs, retailers, farmers and many more. From the inception of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan to today, it has been an incredible experience.”
During her tenure, Unilever has made significant progress towards achieving its sustainability goals, including achieving net zero across its value chain by 2039 and reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 100% by 2030 compared to a 2015 baseline.
The London-based multinational manufacturer of nutrition, hygiene and personal care products said in its climate change plan last year that it had achieved its 2025 short-term target of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 70% in 2023. At the time, the company said it had reduced Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions primarily through increased use of renewable electricity and energy efficiency programs.
Marmot said he would “pass the reins” to Stewart, but Unilever has not confirmed what the corporate affairs and communications executive’s new title will be as he takes on the sustainability leadership role.
