UNILEVER: CREATING A BETTER FUTURE EVERYDAY
Unilever is an Anglo-Dutch company with strong roots in Europe. With a global turnover of €46,5b (2011), it is employing 171,000 people worldwide. In Europe, Unilever’s turnover has been €12billion, of which 75% in foods, it employs 40,000 people and has 70 manufacturing facilities.
As a leading, innovative, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company, Unilever spends almost 1 billion Euros annually on R&D and employs around 6,000 people in six principal research and development laboratories, 13 global product development centres focussing on new product development and 37 regional development centres for adapting and implementing innovations. Unilever’s R&D spent in Europe is approximately €0.5billion – and we employ 2,000 scientists. Our R&D spend in Europe is close to 4% of our total European revenue.
Unilever’s mission is to double its size while reducing the overall environmental impact of its products and business processes across the value chain. We are an industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 12 years; and the 7th Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the World in 2009.
Our brands
We meet everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care with brands that help people feel good, look good and get more out of life. With 400 brands spanning 14 categories of home, personal care and foods products, we touch the lives of over 2 billion people every day – whether that's through feeling great because they've got shiny hair and a brilliant smile, keeping their homes fresh and clean, or by enjoying a great cup of tea, satisfying meal or healthy snack.
We've always believed in the power of our brands to improve the quality of people’s lives and in doing the right thing. As our business grows, so do our responsibilities. We recognise that global challenges such as climate change concern us all. Considering the wider impact of our actions is embedded in our values and is a fundamental part of who we are.
Our brand portfolio has made us leaders in every field in which we work. It ranges from much-loved world favourites including Lipton, Knorr, Dove and Omo, to trusted local brands such as Blue Band and Suave.
Our Code of Business Principles
Our efforts are guided by our Code of Business Principles which sets the standards of behaviour we demand from all our employees. It also outlines our commitments to our stakeholders including consumers, customers, suppliers, employees, communities and the environment.
