Our business

Speed & impact

We act fast to anticipate consumer needs, fast to translate ideas into new products, and fast to make, distribute and market them. We create products that people enjoy, trust and use as part of their daily lives. Which is why, as part of Unilever, you could make an impact on a global and local scale.

Countries & brands

We have deep roots in numerous countries and play an active role in the communities in which we operate. Our companies are predominately staffed by local people who understand the needs, values, culture and tastes of their own societies. Many of our brands are global, some with sales of over €1 billion a year, while others are leaders in their home markets.

Markets & opportunities

We focus our resources on brands, categories and countries with the highest growth potential, and have an unrivaled footprint in fast-growing developing and emerging markets. Underpinning our growth is our One Unilever programme, creating a leaner, fitter, more resilient business which is better placed than ever before to meet challenges and respond to new opportunities.

Ethics & environment

We recognise that our long term success requires high performance and productivity. It also requires the highest standards of corporate behaviour, towards the people we work with, the communities we touch, and the environment on which we have an impact. These standards are articulated in our Code of Business Principles, which everyone at Unilever must follow, and our Business Partners Code for the companies with whom we work.
