Unilever and Choithrams Mark World Environment Day in UAE

Published:

This World Environment Day, on 5th June 2026 Unilever and Choithrams came together to bring sustainability closer to everyday shoppers—marking over 13 years of partnership rooted in shared purpose and action.

At the heart of the activation was a high‑impact in-store experience at Choithrams’ Green Community store, designed to turn awareness into simple, tangible behaviour change. Through premium displays, digital engagement, and strong in-store visibility, shoppers were encouraged to make more conscious choices. Initiatives included the distribution of 450 reusable bags, sustainable cups, and plants—alongside the rollout of over 6,000 paper bags at checkout—to reinforce the shift away from single-use materials.

The activation extended across multiple stores in Dubai, U.A.E. amplifying reach through shopper engagement, social media, and media coverage, while creating a unified message around sustainability at scale. From digital screens and live media interactions to in-store branding and giveaways, every touchpoint was designed to inspire action and spark conversation.

Beyond retail, Unilever continues to advance sustainability across its broader operations in the UAE—from reducing CO₂ emissions in manufacturing to driving consumer-focused initiatives like mangrove restoration campaigns. These efforts reflect a holistic approach: combining industry action with community engagement to create lasting impact.

Together with Choithrams, this World Environment Day showcased how partnerships can translate ambition into action—bringing sustainability out of concept and into the hands of consumers, every single day.
