ABOUT UNILEVER
Unilever is one of the world’s
leading suppliers of fast-moving
consumer goods.
Our products are sold in
over 190 countries and
used by 2 billion
consumers every day.
BUSINESS WITH PURPOSE
Our purpose is to make
sustainable living
commonplace.
We work to create a better future
every day, with brands and
services that help people feel
good, look good and get more out
of life.
Our first priority is to our
consumers – then customers,
employees, suppliers and
communities.
When we fulfil our responsibilities
to them, we believe that our
shareholders will be rewarded.
OUR COMPASS STRATEGY
Our vision is to double the size of
the business, whilst reducing our
environmental footprint and
increasing our positive social
impact.
The Compass provides a blueprint
for success by identifying what we
must do to win share and grow
volume in every category and
country.

OUR BUSINESS MODEL
OUR BRANDS
Strong brands and innovation
are central to our ambition to
double in size.
OUR OPERATIONS
We aim to develop innovative
products that address different
consumer needs at different
price points.
OUR PEOPLE
Sustainable, profitable growth
can only be achieved with the
right people working in an
organisation that is fit to win. SUSTAINABLE LIVING
The differentiator in our business
model is our Sustainable Living Plan
and the goal of sustainable living.
THE UNILEVER SUSTAINABLE LIVING PLAN
We have long been working and reporting
on our impact on society and the
environment. Our Sustainable Living Plan
brings together all this work and sets
many new targets.
Our Sustainable Living Plan will result in
three significant outcomes by 2020.
1. We will help more than 1 billion
people take action to improve their
health and well-being.
2. We will halve the environmental
impact of the making and use of our
products.
3. We will source 100% of agricultural
raw materials sustainably.
