Work together, passionately
- Annie FengWe have created an inclusive workplace where people are encouraged to be themselves. The fact that everyone is unique and has different interests outside of the office has a positive impact on the way we work and on our culture. One of the reasons we understand consumers so well is because we are a truly diverse team ourselves.
- Helen & ThomasTeamwork is an essential part of life at Unilever. Not least because we are a large business operating in a truly global environment. On a daily basis, you could be working alongside colleagues in different countries. Through technology such as online collaboration environments and new generation videoconferencing, working together remotely is as good as meeting face-to-face.
- Rob CandelinoAmbitious plans are turned into reality by groups of people who share a common attitude, outlook and passion. Who value different ways of approaching problems and creating solutions. Who like to understand lifestyles that aren't the same as their own. Who enjoy being challenged in how they think. All of which makes Unilever a more interesting and enriching place to be
- Ian ColvinEveryone contributes to the team's efforts. We work closely together to stimulate ideas in each other. We share information to benefit from the very latest thinking. And we make sure we listen to those around us, so that everyone has the chance to express their thoughts and opinions. Success always comes from teamwork, never form an individual working alone.
- Stella PeaceGetting to know people and establishing close professional relationships is key to getting the most out of working life. That includes colleagues from your immediate area as well as from different functions, business units and countries. Being part of a global organisation with such diverse operations offers you some truly unique networking opportunities.

Progress further, faster
- Jane MackieThe diverse and global nature of Unilever means we have a huge range of businesses, functions, roles and disciplines. We encourage people to move between different areas to develop their skills and broaden their experience. It gives the individual more interest, challenge and variety. It also keeps our thinking fresh by harnessing different views, opinions and perspectives.
- Jorg BrouwerWe believe that people should drive their own careers. So with guidance from your manager and HR, you'll take control of your development. It's all about building skills and gaining experience. If you have the right attitude, you'll find Unilever inspiring and rewarding. If you perform well, there will be plenty of opportunities to take on new and more challenging roles.
- Lorcan WoodsThere are three broad routes through which to gain experience. Early in your career you'll develop professional skills through performing and practising your day job. As you progress, you'll increase your knowledge and understanding of the business as a whole. Then your role may take on an international perspective or you may be involved in regional/global project teams.
- Prerana IssarWe have built a reputation as one of the world's most admired employers by providing an environment where individuals can achieve their goals, both professionally and personally. This is an organisation where talented people can go as far and as fast as their ambition and ability take them. And as our business evolves, new possibilities arise.

Define tomorrow, today
- Stella PeaceUnilever's future depends upon its ability to bring better innovations to market quicker than our competitors. And that market is changing fast. As we move forward, the developing world will account for more than half of our business. That's why we're building our capabilities in China and India, and networking them with our established centres in Europe and the US.
- Shelagh MuirInnovation is all about understanding a consumer need and delivering a solution to meet it, whether that's convenience or pleasure, health or affordability. For instance, at any one time, we could be developing more environmentally-friendly laundry detergents, better tasting ice cream, deodorants that kick in when they're needed most, and shampoos that work harder to make hair softer.
- Neil WilsonUnilever is a world leader in research and development. Working on around four hundred innovations per year, our portfolio contains more than 20,000 patents and patent applications. And things are set to get even more interesting. The pace and scale of advance means that, to stay ahead, we'll be increasingly reliant upon our unique knowledge and world class capabilities.

Make a difference, responsibly
- Caroline DrummondToday people are very aware of global issues such as poverty, climate change and the depletion of natural resources. Consumers are increasingly looking for products that help them do good. That's why we believe our brands should add social value and maximise an individual's wellbeing, whilst having the least possible adverse effect on the environment, at every stage in their lifecycle.
- Ian & NeilOur aim is to always manage and grow the business in a responsible way. That includes helping to promote sustainable agriculture, reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions, minimising waste, using fewer chemicals, improving packaging design, and developing more efficient manufacturing and distribution processes. We also support important health initiatives such as UNICEF's Global Handwashing Day.
- Sustainable livingUnilever and Wal-Mart have launched an environmental awareness campaign in Brazil. Sustainable show houses have been installed in the supermarket's stores, each with four sections – a garden, kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. Visitors hear messages and tips on how to lead a more eco-friendly life. They can also play interactive games to learn about recycling, natural resources and conservation. The houses are built from recycled and environmentally-friendly materials. Small changes in our living habits and shopping choices can have a huge impact on the environment and improve our lives.
- Prerana IssarHunger and malnutrition are still the biggest risk to the health of children worldwide, denying 400 million a good start in life. 'Together for Child Vitality' is our partnership with WFP that aims to improve the nutrition and health of poor school-aged children, as well as raise funds and increase awareness of the issue. This initiative offers our people stimulating ways to broaden their experience whilst at the same time giving something back. Our partnership with WFP builds on our long tradition as a responsible company, firmly rooted in local communities all around the world.
