Is Degree sustainable?
We do not yet score enough Degree products to give the brand a sustainability rating. Unilever has committed to 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable plastic packaging by 2025 and net-zero emissions by 2039, but these are not specific to Degree.
We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.
