WHO WE ARE


Unilever is one of the leading suppliers of consumer goods. We have more than 400 brands and our products are on sale in more than 190 countries. On any given day, 2 billion people use our products to look good, feel good and get more out of life.

Our portfolio ranges from nutritionally balanced foods to indulgent ice creams, affordable soaps, luxurious shampoos and everyday household care products.

And everything we do, we do with sustainability in mind. We've won more employer awards this year than ever before. We're the biggest European FMCG in the world, and are rated #1 by Climate Counts for our sustainability initiatives

WHY JOIN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT?

A career in Research& Development (R&D) at Unilever is like no other. We use in-depth consumer understanding and expertise in science and technology to create innovative, effective and sustainable products.

And thanks to Unilever's broad portfolio, a career in R&D can see you working across multiple categories and geographies. For instance, a technology that helps us to reduce calories in ice cream might also be used to reduce fats used in toilet soaps. And we'd roll out an innovation like this across the globe.
