Unilever Vision

We work to create a better future everyday. We help people to feel good, look good and get more out of life with brands and services that are good for them and good for others. We inspire people to take small actions everyday that can add up to a big difference for the world. We develop new ways of doing business that will allow us to double the size of our company while reducing our environmental impact.

Our Heritage in India

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). 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). In November 1956, these three companies merged to form Hindustan Lever Limited. In June 2007, the company was renamed Hindustan Unilever Limited.

We have set ourselves three big global goals: By 2020, help more than 1 billion people take actions to improve their health and well- being; by 2030, halve the environmental footprint of our products, and by 2020, enhance the livelihoods of millions of people.
