May 5 (Reuters) - British consumer goods giant Unilever
on Wednesday said an overwhelming majority of its
shareholders voted in favour of its plan to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions across its supply chain to net zero by 2039.

The maker of Dove soaps and Hellmann's mayonnaise, which is
the largest company globally to give investors a say on its
climate transition action plan, said over 99% of shareholders
voted in favour.

The result of the non-binding vote was released during an
online shareholder meeting.
