The Power of U

Real change starts with U at Unilever. We’re a purpose-led company and we make sure that when you take a job with us, not only will you get the opportunity to build your career, your work will help to make a positive impact. We believe that together we can be a force for good – as activists, positive influencers and through initiatives that support causes close to our hearts. Here, you can bring your purpose and passions to life through your work and grow in a career that makes you proud of what you do – with four pillars underlying what is unique about working with us:

Purpose Power

At our core, we’re a purpose-led company. But that goes so much further than tackling plastic waste or breaking down harmful societal stereotypes. We’re passionate about seeing each employee’s purpose come to life through their role and in the work that they do. Discover what you’re passionate about while leading positive change across the world.

Be the Catalyst

If you’re passionate about making a difference, you can – and we’ll empower you on your journey. Make things happen with your pioneering spirit and use your experience to grow your career. Together, we can help create a bettr business and a better world.

Brilliantly different together

Dove, Lifebuoy, and Ben & Jerry’s. Magnum, Axe, Knorr, and Surf. Our world famous brands are all different. As people, so are we – and it’s those differences that bring us closer together as one team, from championing each of our brand’s purposes to cherishing brilliant cultures in the countries we operate in.

Go beyond

Purpose-led careers. Mentors who will challenge and develop you. Brands that make a difference. We want to lead the way, and in doing so give you the opportunity to enrich your career experience and go further than you ever thought possible.

DE&I at Unilever

Equity, diversity and inclusion

We want to see a society where everyone is treated equally.
We're working to create a fairer, more socially inclusive world – in our business, through our brands and in wider society. 

Strategy and goals

We’re determined to achieve a culture where everyone can thrive, a culture where all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, and where their uniqueness is celebrated.
We’re taking a holistic approach that focuses on how we can use the scale and reach of our business to have the greatest impact in our own workplace and beyond.

We’ve set clear goals to eliminate any bias and discrimination in our policies and practices, accelerate diverse representation in our leadership, and remove barriers for people with disabilities. At the same time, we’re setting out to spend more with diverse businesses and increasing representation of diverse groups in our advertising.

Taking a stand

We can’t be bystanders in a world of deep-rooted and pervasive inequalities that blight the lives of millions every day at work and at home.

Everyone who believes in a more just, more equitable society needs to work together to make things change. That means stepping up to fight harder for equity, diversity and inclusion.

There doesn't need to be a business case for doing the right thing. When it comes to inclusion, the business case is as plain as the moral one. We're convinced that driving equity, diversity and inclusion makes our business stronger.
It’s time to rethink: business can lead the fight for a fairer, more socially inclusive world.
