Introduction to Unilever

160 million times a day, someone somewhere chooses a Unilever product. From feeding your
family to keeping your home clean and fresh, our brands are part of everyday life.
Life partner
With 400 brands spanning 14 categories of home, personal care and foods products, no other
company touches so many people's lives in so many different ways.
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.
From comforting soups to warm a winter's day, to sensuous soaps that make you feel fabulous,
our products help people get more out of life.
We're constantly enhancing our brands to deliver more intense, rewarding product experiences.
We invest nearly 1 billion every year in cutting-edge research and development, and have five
laboratories around the world that explore new thinking and techniques to help develop our
products.
Continuous development
Consumer research plays a vital role in our brands' development. We're constantly developing
new products and developing tried and tested brands to meet changing tastes, lifestyles and
expectations. And our strong roots in local markets also mean we can respond to consumers at a
local level.
By helping improve people's diets and daily lives, we can help them keep healthier for longer,
look good and give their children the best start in life.
We also believe that the very business of conducting business in a responsible way has a positive
social impact. We create and share wealth, invest in local economies and develop people's skills
both inside our organisation and in the communities around us.
Today Unilever employs 174 000 people in 100 countries worldwide, and supports the jobs of
many thousands of distributors, contractors and suppliers.
