While UCC has an overarching sustainability framework, it falls short in establishing precise, quantifiable objectives and performance criteria. UCC does engage to some extent in projects at origin, with a primary emphasis on environmental and social issues. UCC’s sustainability reporting is limited, primarily disseminated through website updates rather than a yearly sustainability report. Notably, public disclosure currently lacks information on labor conditions management, farmer economic viability, and zero deforestation policies. However, it’s worth mentioning that the company is in the process of enhancing its sustainability planning by developing specific goals and targets related their material issues.
