Unilever PLC operates as a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company.

Segments

The company’s operating and reportable segments are the five business groups: Beauty & Wellbeing, Personal Care, Home Care, Nutrition, and Ice Cream.

Beauty & Wellbeing segment

This segment engages primarily in the sale of hair care (shampoo, conditioner, styling), skin care (face, hand and body moisturisers) and includes Prestige Beauty and Health & Wellbeing.

The company is a global leader in Hair Care and holds a strong position in Skin Care, with Power Brands such as Dove, Vaseline, POND’s, Clear, TRESemme and Sunsilk. The company’s Prestige Beauty and Wellbeing businesses, which represent approximately 30% of the company’s turnover, include Liquid I.V., Paula’s Choice, Dermalogica and Nutrafol.

Strategic Priorities

The company’s strategy continues to be anchored in three key priorities: premiumising its core Hair Care and Skin Care portfolios by emphasising brand superiority; sustaining momentum in the company’s high growth Prestige Beauty and Wellbeing portfolios; and enhancing operating profit through gross margin and productivity improvements. This is all underpinned by its commitment to improving competitiveness through innovation and a social-first approach to consumer engagement.

Personal Care segment

This segment engages primarily in the sale of skin cleansing (soap and shower), deodorant and oral care (toothpaste, toothbrush, and mouthwash) products.

The company is one of the world’s largest personal care businesses, with a global portfolio spread evenly across developed and emerging markets. The company’s Power Brands include Dove, Dove Men+Care, Rexona, Lux, Axe, Lifebuoy, Closeup and Pepsodent. The company holds leading category positions in Deodorants and Skin Cleansing. In Oral Care, the company is number four globally.

Strategic Priorities

The company’s strategy is firmly rooted in delivering unmissable brand superiority with a focus on premiumisation, addressing emerging consumer needs ahead of trends and leveraging retailer partnerships for growth.

Home Care segment

This segment engages primarily sales of fabric care (washing powders and liquids, rinse conditioners) and a wide range of home and hygiene cleaning products.

With a turnover of over €12 billion, the company is a global home care business with a strong position in emerging markets – particularly in India, Brazil and Vietnam. The company’s Power Brands, including Dirt Is Good (OMO and Persil), Sunlight, Comfort, Cif and Domestos, aim to transform everyday chores into superior experiences.

Strategic Priorities

The company’s strategy is designed to maximise these opportunities by focusing on fewer, bigger and more premium multi-year innovations and delivering superiority, value and sustainability to consumers.

Foods (previously Nutrition) segment

This segment engages primarily sales of cooking aids & mini-meals (soups, bouillons, seasonings), condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup) and Unilever Food Solutions.

The company is one of the largest and most profitable foods businesses in the world, driven by the company’s fast-growing global Power Brands Knorr and Hellmann’s, alongside the company’s customer-facing business Unilever Food Solutions. Geographically, more than half of the company’s sales come from emerging markets, led by India as the largest contributor.

Strategic Priorities

The company’s strategy for consistent market success and present opportunities for mutual growth.

Ice Cream segment

This segment primarily includes ice cream products.

The company is the world’s largest ice cream business with five of the top ten bestselling ice cream brands globally, including Magnum, Cornetto, Wall’s and Ben & Jerry’s. With a diverse international footprint across 80 countries, a third of the company’s sales come from emerging markets.

Strategic Priorities

The company's primary focuses have been turning around the Ice Cream business. It has made good progress in developing an exciting product pipeline, improving its marketing, sales, and distribution strategy, optimizing its supply chain, and building dedicated sales teams globally. These are all areas the company intends to continue strengthening while also taking steps to ensure a smooth separation in 2025.

Acquisitions

In February 2024, the company acquired 91.88% of K18, Inc (K18), a U.S.-based premium hair care brand. The acquisition complements Unilever’s existing Beauty and Wellbeing portfolio, with a range of high-quality, hair care products.

Disposals

In October 2024, the company sold the Russian subsidiary to Arnest Group. The sale includes all of Unilever’s business in Russia and its four factories in the country, along with its business in Belarus.

In November 2024, the company sold Pureit to A.O. Smith. Pureit offers a range of water purification solutions across India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Mexico, among others.

Patents
