We are Unilever.

Introduction to Unilever

A Better business. A better world. A better you. 

We are 128,000 people worldwide, with many recognisable brand names in over 190 countries. We are a global company with the purpose of ‘Brightening everyday life for all’. On any day, 3.4 billion people use Unilever products to look good, feel good, and get more out of life – giving us the unique opportunity to build a brighter future.  

Founded in Port Sunlight (The Wirral) in 1929 by Lord Lever, Unilever has more than 400 brands found in homes around the world, including Dove, TRESemmé, Lynx, Lifebuoy, Shea Moisture, Hellman’s, Persil, Domestos, Marmite, Graze, Vaseline, Sure, Colman’s and Pot Noodle.       

With a €60.8 billion turnover in 2024 with 58% in emerging markets it’s no wonder that we are in 98% of houses in the UK, go have a look, we might even be in yours!

Faced with the challenge of climate change and the desire for human development, we want to move towards a world where everyone can live well and within the natural limits of the planet. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to actively do more good for our planet and society – not just less harm, which is why we have spent over €987 million in our world renown Research and Development programme. We want to act on the social and environmental issues facing the world and we want to enhance people’s lives with our innovative, sustainable, and high-quality products. 

We are looking for talented students who can challenge the way things are done, bring new ideas to the table, and dare to make big decisions to help us achieve our vision. Alongside this, we look for people who can ignite change as well as adapt to it, identify growth opportunities, and proactively encourage others to achieve results.
