Introduction,

Unilever is a British-Dutch consumer goods firm that sells its products in over 190 countries. Another
noteworthy feature is that they control over 400 brands, implying significant risk diversification as well
as a wide range of products. Food, personal care products, and cleaning chemicals are among them.
Twelve of these brands, in fact, have annual sales of more than a billion euros. The importance of this
multinational is also evident in the fact that 2.5 billion individuals consume Unilever products on a
regular basis. They are also responsible for the employment of 161,000 people in the nations where
they do business.

Furthermore, they believe in a long-term business strategy that allows them to lower their
environmental footprint while increasing their positive social impact.

Historically, Unilever was founded in 1929 when a Dutch margarine firm and a British soapmaker
merged. The Netherlands' margarine company was also a result of a merger between the world's first
margarine plant and another producing the same product in the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands.The
soapmaker company transformed the market since it contributed to a more sanitary society and
because the product's manufacturing was covered. The company's name is a combination of the names
of two Dutch companies: Margarine Unie and Lever Brothers.

Throughout its history, Unilever has been involved in a number of acquisitions. It became a major
shareholder of Frosted Food in 1943, which also owns Birds Eye and the rights to freeze items in the
United Kingdom, which was going to have a huge impact as a technique to preserve foods in their
natural state. It also buys Good Humor, an ice cream manufacturer in the United States, and Zwanenber,
which will subsequently become the firm's meat sector's basic unit.
