Project description

Unilever is one of the first major global companies to declare a commitment to sustainability and is actively embedding responsible management practices across its global operations Unilever is one of the world�s largest and oldest consumer goods companies. With foundations stretching back to 1883 when Sunlight Soap was launched in the UK by Unilever�s founder, today the company employs almost 150,000 employees across 54 countries and generates more than �50 billion (A$70.3 billion) per year in revenue. Unilever is also a global pioneer in responsible management and has been a first-mover in committing to sustainable development goals (SDGs). �This notion of being a force for good is something that is very much in Unilever�s DNA,� said Nicole Sparshott, CEO Unilever A/NZ and CEO T2, who was recently interviewed for the AGSM 2021 Professional Forum: Responsible Management in an Accelerating World, by Professor Nick Wailes, Senior Deputy Dean (External Engagement) and Director AGSM.
