Unilever is a British-Dutch multinational consumer goods company. It was formed in 1930 through the merger of the Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie and the British soap maker Lever Brothers. Unilever is one of the largest and oldest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the world, with a diverse portfolio of products.
The company operates in various sectors, including personal care, food and beverages, cleaning agents, and home care products. Some of the well-known brands owned by Unilever include Dove, Axe, Rexona, Knorr, Lipton, Hellmann's, Ben & Jerry's, and many others. The company's products are sold in over 190 countries worldwide.
Unilever has a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. In 2010, the company launched its Sustainable Living Plan, which aims to decouple the company's growth from its environmental impact while increasing positive social impact. Unilever has committed to several goals, including reducing its environmental footprint, improving the health and well-being of one billion people, and enhancing livelihoods across its value chain.
In terms of corporate structure, Unilever operates as two separate entities: Unilever PLC, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and Unilever N.V., which is listed on the Euronext Amsterdam. Both companies have the same board of directors and effectively function as a single economic entity.
