Unilever

Unilever's four-day workweek trial, now covering over 3,000 employees in five markets, achieves a 15% productivity boost while cutting carbon emissions per employee by 8%. This blend of purpose and profit ties executive bonuses to 30% sustainability targets, a commitment cheaper than the typical FMCG rival's reliance on quarterly profit metrics alone. The trial's 92% employee satisfaction score exceeds the global corporate average of 68%, proving that reduced hours can deliver both higher performance and deeper engagement without sacrificing scale.
