Our Corporate Purpose says that for us to succeed requires: "the highest standards of corporate behaviour towards
everyone we work with, the communities we touch and the environment on which we have an impact".

Our Code of Business Principles sets the framework of standards within which we work. The Code is supported by
additional worldwide operational standards on issues such as employee and product safety.

We regularly review the Code to ensure it meets the needs of today's business environment. Our latest revision was
in 2001 and the updated Code was rolled out across our business in 2002. The Code is a short document, written in
clear, simple language, stating overall principles. It is designed to be easy to read and understand for all our
employees. This is because we believe the Code must have practical value in our day-to-day business. We expect
every Unilever employee to follow its principles in spirit as well as to the letter.

We aim to be a trusted corporate citizen wherever we operate in the world,

respected for the values and standards by which we behave
