Unilever Holders Back ESG Rowback as Protesters Disrupt Meeting

Unilever Plc’s move to dial back environmental commitments drew protests at the company’s annual meeting, even as shareholders of the maker of Dove soap and Magnum ice cream approved the softer targets.

Demonstrators interrupted the London gathering Wednesday, singing “Power to the People,” shouting “no to plastic” and demanding a more ambitious commitment from the consumer goods company.
