Response by Unilever to the paper written by Libby Abbott relating to our tea plantation in Kericho, Kenya

We also regularly rotate our plantation unit leaders and have initiated a welfare committee with at least 30% female representation to improve liaison between employees and management. However, although we have made substantial improvements, we accept that there is always more that can be done. The nature of such sensitive allegations makes it harder to prove that the reported behaviour has taken place but we recognise that this should not be a reason for inaction...
