Broad-based collaboration with Unilever Nederland
Every year in the Netherlands, global food corporation Unilever purchases almost 70 gigawatt hours (GWh) of the green electricity generated by Eneco’s Luchterduinen wind farm on the North Sea.


"By 2030, we want to be climate-positive worldwide. So that besides using fully sustainable energy we can also supply energy to the surroundings. The partnership with Eneco and the direct link between our energy needs and five wind turbines at the Luchterduinen wind farm is an important next step towards achieving this ambition."
Conny Braams, General Manager of Unilever Benelux

Collaboration focused on the surroundings
Unilever and Eneco have a special cooperative relationship. Together we are looking for opportunities for further sustainability at the Unilever locations, such as smart operational and savings options. Employees and customers are also included in the sustainable plans.
