The National Agency for Corruption Prevention of #Ukraine (NACP) adds #Unilever the owner of Lipton, Rexona and Dove to the list of international sponsors of war.
A giant billboard showing a photoshoot with wounded Ukrainian soldiers, in the style of Dove beauty adverts, has been installed outside parent company Unilever’s HQ in #London. It comes on the same day that Unilever is officially placed on the Ukrainian Government’s International Sponsors of War list.

@EugeneMcParland your timing is perfect, I was just on their site trying to find more info on why the Lyons Gold #irish #tea uses non-plastic teabags. Canceling my plan to special order #Lyons #Unilever
Here are more products you may want to avoid.
@MaryPot @EugeneMcParland not all 400 #unilever brands are on their site though...time to do some #Wikipedia editing.
@EugeneMcParland
Time to boycott Ben & Jerry's (aka Unilever) ice cream!
@SimpleRobC @EugeneMcParland
There's no escaping them if you live in .nl, sadly.
@Gednet @SimpleRobC @EugeneMcParland
Just buy from small, eco-friendly producers. There's a perception that eco products are more expensive but it's not necessarily the case. For example, Ecover has very reasonable prices. https://www.biggreensmile.com/brands/ecover.aspx?brand=Ecoverdeptid=SPECIALOFFERS&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVlqEX4ZvgJTfQEnCmeV0J-pALAf_fYIGo-eHOv3Aon7t7aErlX9cjRoCxi0QAvD_BwE
@SimpleRobC @EugeneMcParland I wonder if Unilever use more or less the same ingredients for all of them?
@EugeneMcParland ugh. That’s my soap brand. Not anymore I guess.
Diese internationalen #Konzerne machen weiterhin Geschäfte mit #Russland - und keiner schaut hin? Doch - und wir sagen es weiter! https://b4ukraine.org/whats-new/unilever-designated-a-sponsor-of-war
@EugeneMcParland any developers out there that can make a barcode scanner app that links to a database with names of businesses that still do business in/with russia, and returns a green or red flag so you know what you can buy without supporting collaborators?
I don’t want to buy from businesses that do business with russia, but boy would it be great if I could tell from a quick scan vs having to look it up for every single product.. doable no?
@EugeneMcParland >Looks up Unilever brands
-> Hellmann's
Me: "NOOOOOO. My vegan soyfree mayonnaise!" (I am allergic to both soy and chicken eggs)
@EugeneMcParland Thank god I use organic products!
With this I can avoid most bad companies.
