UNILEVER FRAMEWORK FOR FAIR COMPENSATION

Fair Compensation’
means ensuring the pay for employees is set at a level that is
both fair and liveable, and provides equal pay for equal work.
It provides a structured way for a company to outline how
the various elements of its compensation packages deliver fair compensation to
its employees.

The Unilever Framework for Fair Compensation

Our Framework for Fair Compensation covers our own direct employees. We also look
to extend the concept to the numerous organisation that supply Unilever with
materials, services or contingent labor through our Responsible Sourcing Policy.
OurFramework applies globally and has a number of over-arching principles.
The application of our Framework is through the various compensation policies and
procedures applicable in each country in which we have employees. Our intent is
to achieve full global compliance with our Framework principles and we are
establishing an internal process to monitor progress. The following pages
explain our monitoring process.
The following pages explain our monitoring process.
Identifying Liveable Wage amounts
Our over-arching principle to provide Fair and Liveable Wages requires us to be
aware of what is a credible Living Wage amount for each country in which we
have employees. In some countries, however, there are different Living Wage amounts
quoted by different organisations and often based on different criteria. Unilever
has contracted the Fair Wage Network, an independent recognised authority on
fair and living wages, to provide a global solution. The Fair Wage Networks
developed a global database containing all known Living Wage amounts for each
country, along with summary details of the calculation basis for each Living
Wage. The Fair Wage Network (without losing the core essence of
the original Living Wage methodology) normalised these varying amounts using
sophisticated calculations to:
a. A common date (updated each year reflecting inflation
since the original amount was developed).
b. A standard family unit size (2 adults + 2 dependants).
c. The local currency (if the original amount was quoted such as US Dollars or
Euros)

Then, based on these normalised amounts, the Fair Wage Network has developed a mean
Living Wage amount for each country.Approved Unilever managers will be able to access the Fair Wage Network’s database through a secure online portal to identify the Living
Wage amount (or mean amount) for their countries.
Unilever ‘Fixed Compensation’ Amounts
for comparison against Living Wages

The Fair Wage Network has guided us that for fair and liveable
wage comparison purposes we should compare the fixed compensation amount of our
lowest grade of employee in a country to the Living Wage amount in its online
database. This fixed compensation amount would typically include:

i. The employee’s contractual full time fixed cash pay.

ii. Any fixed additional cash allowances.

iii. The cash equivalent value of any fixed benefits


provided (eg medical, food, accommodation, transport, etc).

Overtime and bonus amounts are not included in any fixed


compensation comparisons as these are neither fixed nor guaranteed. Long-term
benefits, such as pensions, are not a source of current liveable income so the
cash equivalent value of these is also not included in fixed compensation.
Unilever Reward Principles, Policies and Procedures

Our fundamental Reward Principles are that:

·Fixed pay is Market-based, Fair and Competitive.

· Variable pay is used to drive improved


Performance for both employee and business.

· Exceptional individual employee contributions


are appropriately Recognised.

· Employees have the opportunity to take a


financial interest in Unilever through acquiring shares, providing perspective,
belonging and Alignment.

·All elements of reward


will be Open, Fair, Consistent and Explainable.

We translate these Principles into the reward policies, procedures and systems. The detail
of these will vary by country. The annual compliance certification process will
ensure each country complies with both the wording and the spirit of our Fair
Compensation Framework
The Fair Wage Network

These are the Fair Wage Network’s concepts that we used in


the development of our Framework.

Fair Wage Definition

“Wage levels and wage-fixing mechanisms that provide a living wage floor for workers,
while complying with national wage regulations (such as minimum wage, payment
of wages, overtime payments, provision of paid holidays and social insurance
payments), ensure proper wage adjustments and lead to balanced wage
developments in the company.
