We are Unilever

Established over 100 years ago, we are one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies. We are known for our great brands and our belief that doing business the right way drives superior performance.

We are driven by our purpose: to brighten everyday life for all

It’s why we come to work. It’s why we’re in business. It’s how we inspire exceptional performance.

Back in 1883, Sunlight Soap was launched in the UK by our founder – it was pioneering, it was innovative and it had a purpose: to popularise cleanliness and bring it within reach of ordinary people. That was sustainable living, even then. We now have over 400 brands and we are still driven by purpose.

We want to do more good for our planet and our society – not just less harm. We want to act on the social and environmental issues facing the world and we want to enhance people’s lives with our products.

We’ve been pioneers, innovators and future-makers for over 120 years – we plan to continue doing that. And we plan to do it sustainably.

Ensuring nutrition for the nation

We firmly believe that everyone deserves access to healthy, delicious, safe, and nourishing food that enhances their overall wellbeing. Since 1974, we have been dedicated to building a healthier nation by making nutrition accessible to all. For decades, we have been at the forefront of promoting health and nutrition across Bangladesh, offering world-class, research backed, high-quality nutrition products. Our enriched portfolio of international brands, including Horlicks, Maltova, Boost, and GlucoMax D (formerly Glaxose D), has significantly improved the lives of countless individuals, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future for Bangladesh.

From the very beginning, our focus has been on introducing high-quality products that meet global standards, earning the trust and loyalty of consumers nationwide. Our unwavering commitment to excellence has established UCL as a company deeply invested in the wellbeing of its consumers. We take pride in maintaining our leadership position in the Health Food Drink (HFD) category in Bangladesh - a testament to our quality and innovation. Our brands, particularly Horlicks, have become household favorites, making a meaningful impact on people’s lives across the country.

As guided by Growth Action Plan (GAP) 2030, we are committed to deliver impact against our sustainability priorities and brighten everyday life for all through our beloved brands.
