The Company has over 16,000 employees and has an annual turnover of27408crores (financial year 2013 - 2014). HUL is a subsidiary of Unilever, one of the worlds leading suppliers of fast moving consumer goods with strong local roots in more than 100 countries across the globe with annual sales of 49.8 billion in 2013. Unilever has 67.25% shareholding in HUL.In the summer of 1888, visitors to the Kolkata harbour noticed crates full of Sunlight soap bars, embossed with the words "Made in England by Lever Brothers". With it, began an era of marketing branded Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).Soon after followed Lifebuoy in 1895 and other famous brands like Pears, Lux and Vim. Vanaspati was launched in 1918 and the famous Dalda brand came to the market in 1937.In 1931, Unilever set up its first Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Company, followed by Lever Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited (1935). These three companies merged to form HUL in November 1956; HUL offered 10% of its equity to the Indian public, being the first among the foreign subsidiaries to do so. Unilever now holds 67.25% equity in the company. The rest of the shareholding is distributed among about three lakh individual shareholders and financial institutions.The erstwhile Brooke Bond's presence in India dates back to 1900. By 1903, the company had launched Red Label tea in the country. In 1912, Brooke Bond & Co. India Limited was formed. Brooke Bond joined the Unilever fold in 1984 through an international acquisition. The erstwhile Lipton's links with India were forged in 1898. Unilever acquired Lipton in 1972, and in 1977 Lipton Tea (India) Limited was incorporated.Pond's (India) Limited had been present in India since 1947. It joined the Unilever fold through an international acquisition of Chesebrough Pond's USA in 1986.Since the very early years, HUL has vigorously responded to the stimulus of economic growth. The growth process has been accompanied by judicious diversification, always in line with Indian opinions and aspirations.The liberalisation of the Indian economy, started in 1991, clearly marked an inflexion in HUL's and the Group's growth curve. Removal of the regulatory framework allowed the company to explore every single product and opportunity segment, without any constraints on production capacity.Simultaneously, deregulation permitted alliances, acquisitions and mergers. In one of the most visible and talked about events of India's corporate history, the erstwhile Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO) merged with HUL, effective from April 1, 1993. In 1996, HUL and yet another Tata company, Lakme Limited, formed a 50:50 joint venture, Lakme Unilever Limited, to market Lakme's market-leading cosmetics and other appropriate products of both the companies. Subsequently in 1998, Lakme Limited sold its brands to HUL and divested its 50% stake in the joint venture to the company.HUL formed a 50:50 joint venture with the US-based Kimberly Clark Corporation in 1994, Kimberly-Clark Lever Ltd, which markets Huggies Diapers and Kotex Sanitary Pads. HUL has also set up a subsidiary in Nepal, Unilever Nepal Limited (UNL), and its factory represents the largest manufacturing investment in the Himalayan kingdom. The UNL factory manufactures HUL's products like Soaps, Detergents and Personal Products both for the domestic market and exports to India.The 1990s also witnessed a string of crucial mergers, acquisitions and alliances on the Foods and Beverages front. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General Foods, with significant interests in Instant Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business from the UB Group and the Dollops Icecream business from Cadbury India.As a measure of backward integration, Tea Estates and Doom Dooma, two plantation companies of Unilever, were merged with Brooke Bond. Then in 1994, Brooke Bond India and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (BBLIL), enabling greater focus and ensuring synergy in the traditional Beverages business. 1994 witnessed BBLIL launching the Wall's range of Frozen Desserts. By the end of the year, the company entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality Icecream Group families and in 1995 the Milkfood 100% Icecream marketing and distribution rights too were acquired.Finally, BBLIL merged with HUL, with effect from January 1, 1996. The internal restructuring culminated in the merger of Pond's (India) Limited (PIL) with HUL in 1998. The two companies had significant overlaps in Personal Products, Speciality Chemicals and Exports businesses, besides a common distribution system since 1993 for Personal Products. The two also had a common management pool and a technology base. The amalgamation was done to ensure for the Group, benefits from scale economies both in domestic and export markets and enable it to fund investments required for aggressively building new categories.In January 2000, in a historic step, the government decided to award 74 per cent equity in Modern Foods to HUL, thereby beginning the divestment of government equity in public sector undertakings (PSU) to private sector partners. HUL's entry into Bread is a strategic extension of the company's wheat business. In 2002, HUL acquired the government's remaining stake in Modern Foods.In 2003, HUL acquired the Cooked Shrimp and Pasteurised Crabmeat business of the Amalgam Group of Companies, a leader in value added Marine Products exports.HUL launched a slew of new business initiatives in the early part of 2000s. Project Shakti was started in 2001. It is a rural initiative that targets small villages populated by less than 5000 individuals. It is a unique win-win initiative that catalyses rural affluence even as it benefits business. Currently, there are over 45,000 Shakti entrepreneurs covering over 100,000 villages across 15 states and reaching to over 3 million homes.In 2002, HUL made its foray into Ayurvedic health & beauty centre category with the Ayush product range and Ayush Therapy Centres. Hindustan Unilever Network, Direct to home business was launched in 2003 and this was followed by the launch of Pureit water purifier in 2004.In 2007, the Company name was formally changed to Hindustan Unilever Limited after receiving the approval of share holders during the 74th AGM on 18 May 2007. Brooke Bond and Surf Excel breached the the Rs 1,000 crore sales mark the same year followed by Wheel which crossed the Rs.2,000 crore sales milestone in 2008.On 17th October 2008 , HUL completed 75 years of corporate existence in India.In January 2010, the HUL head office shifted from the landmark Lever House, at Backbay Reclamation, Mumbai to the new campus in Andheri (E), Mumbai.On 15thNovember, 2010, the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan was officially launched in India at New Delhi.In March, 2012 HULs state of the art Learning Centre was inaugurated at the Hindustan Unilever campus at Andheri, Mumbai.In April, 2012, the Customer Insight & Innovation Centre (CiiC) was inaugurated at the Hindustan Unilever campus at Andheri, MumbaiHUL completes 80 years of corporate existence in India on October 17th, 2013.

We cannot close our eyes to the problems the world faces. At Unilever we believe that business must be part of the solution. But to be so, business will have to change. Sustainable, equitable growth is the only acceptable business model.We call our strategy for sustainable growth our Compass strategy. It sets out a clear and compelling vision of our future, in which our brands and services reach and inspire people across the world, helping us double the size of our business whilst reducing our environmental footprint and increasing our positive social impact.By leveraging our global reach and inspiring people to take small, everyday actions, we believe we can help make a big difference to the world.Launched in 2010, the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan is our blueprint for sustainable growth.We have set out three big goals to achieve by 2020: Help more than a billion people take action to improve their health and well-being. Halve the environmental footprint of the making and use of our products as we grow our business. Enhance the livelihoods of millions of people as we grow our business.The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan is distinctive. It spans our entire portfolio of brands and all countries in which we sell our products.It has a social and economic dimension our products make a difference to health and well-being and our business supports the livelihoods of many people.And when it comes to the environment, we work across the whole value chain from the sourcing of raw materials to the way consumers use our products.Working across the value chain reflects our ambition to tackle our biggest social and environmental impacts which often occur outside our direct control on the farms where raw materials are grown and in peoples homes when they cook, clean and wash with our products.EVOLUTION OF OUR PLANWe have learnt a great deal since we launched the Plan three years ago. In 2013 we undertook an in-depth review with every product category and business function. We identified actions that will help us drive sustainable growth faster and remove barriers to progress.As a result we have broadened our Plan with a more substantive and far-reaching Enhancing Livelihoods programme.The most significant change we have made is to recognise that we can make a bigger difference to some of the worlds major social, environmental and economic issues if we leverage our scale, influence and resources. So in future we will deepen our efforts in a few areas to make a transformational difference.ENHANCING LIVELIHOODSEnhancing livelihoods is about the impact we can have as a business on peoples lives.We can do this by widening opportunities, increasing skills and including more people in our business growth.Its about respecting and, where necessary, protecting their fundamental human and labour rights.We have made three new commitments: Drive Fairness in the Workplace by advancing human rights across our operations and extended supply chain. Advance Opportunities for Women by promoting their safety, providing up-skilling and expanding opportunities. Develop Inclusive Business to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, improve the incomes of small-sclale retailers and increase the participation of young entrepreneurs in our value chain.Our aim is to increase the positive social impact we have through our products, our campaigns and our behaviour to each other, to those we do business with and the communities in which we operate.Ultimately this helps the business to grow, since healthy societies support healthy businesses and high standards of corporate behaviour reduce our operational and reputational risk.DRIVING TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGEWe have set a bold ambition to achieve change within our own company through our brands, innovation, sourcing and operations.But we are only one company among many and the change needed to tackle the worlds major social, environmental and economic issues is big - and urgent.Whats really needed are changes to the broader systems of which we are a part whether that is in food, energy or health.We have decided to deepen our efforts in three areas where we have the scale, influence and resources to create transformational change. By that we mean fundamental change to whole systems, not simply incremental improvements. These areas are: Working to eliminate deforestation from supply chains. Championing sustainable agriculture and the development of smallholder farmers. Improving hygiene through handwashing, safe drinking water and sanitation.Going beyond what we can achieve in our own operations and with our suppliers, we are stepping up our engagement to work with governments, NGOs and others in our industry on these issues. By working together, we believe that fundamental change is possible in the near term.IN SHORTWe have found that doing business sustainably is possible and that brands that build sustainability into their offer are more appealing to consumers. We realise that we can make a bigger difference to some of the worlds major social, environmental and economic issues if we leverage our scale, influence and resources to drive transformational change.The UnilevUnilever Sustainable Living Plan is inspiring our efforts.
