Unilever maintains more than 300 production facilities around the world and has operations in

more than 100 countries.

Its products include food and beverages (about 40 percent of its revenue), cleaning
agents, beauty products, and personal care products. It is Europe’s seventh most valuable
company. Unilever is one of the oldest multinational companies; its products are available in
around 190 countries.

Logo
In 1930, the logo of Unilever was in a sans-serif typeface and all-caps. The current Unilever
corporate logo was introduced in 2004 and was designed by Wolff Olins, a brand consultancy
agency. The 'U' shape is now made up of 25 distinct symbols, each icon representing one of the
company's sub-brands or its corporate values. The brand identity was developed around the
idea of "adding vitality to life."

Resources

• Agricultural and forestry crops make up around half by volume of raw materials used by
Unilever.
• Unilever buys approximately 12% of the world's black tea, 6% of the world's tomatoes and 3%
of its palm oil.
• Most of the world's oil palm is grown in South-East Asia where the clearance and burning of
forests contributes to global warming.
• Unilever also uses paper and board, plastic, glass, aluminium, steel and mixed material
laminates (for sachets and pouches) in its manufacturing processes.

SOFTWARES:
For the last three years Unilever has been using software and services from software asset
management (SAM) service provider Business Continuity Services (BCS). Unilever, which has
about 100,000 desktops and 10,000 servers, uses software known as Software Organiser, which
takes audit data gleaned from scanning tools and matches it up to the company's software
licenses. It also uses a service known as the Global Universal Software Library, which is a
database of 200,000 software products. This helps Unilever understand how the software they
have should be treated, for example does it need a licence or is it a security risk?

When Unilever ran an audit using BCS services it found 60,000 different software products.
Using the SAM services it has rationalised this to 4,500 commercially licensable products and
800 that do not require licenses but need to be managed.

 FATTY ACID SOAP BARS PREPARED FROM OIL STOCK OF LOW IV COMPRISING POTASSIUM SOAP

Publication number: 20190284513

Abstract: The present invention relates to predominantly (50% or greater) soap bars made from oil or
oils of defined iodine value. Unexpectedly, it has been found that, when defined amounts of potassium
soap are used, bars made from oils falling within the defined IV range have excellent extrusion rates (as
defined by falling within defined hardness values) without exhibiting excessive cracking, while exhibiting
wear and mush values associated with lower IV and surprising lather values not expected from bars
made from lower IV oils. This is a unique and unexpected simultaneous accumulation of attributes.
Further, unexpected perfume performance (e.g., bloom) is also found.
