This research describes Unilever’s business operations in Ghana, and is the first study on this company conducted in the context of the Company Monitor Project. From the outset of the research, Unilever’s corporate management in the Netherlands was approached to ensure the company’s co-operation. A detailed research proposal was designed, including a comprehensive questionnaire for management and workers. The questions addressed issues including the company’s general characteristics, its interpretation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), CSR related policies and standards, labour relations, working conditions, and supply chain issues. The research plan also included site visits and meetings with representatives of the company’s management, workers and the unions.
