Ethics and environment

Unilever recognises that their long term success requires high performance and productivity. It also requires the highest standards of corporate behaviour, towards the people they work with, the communities they touch, and the environment on which they have an impact. These standards are articulated in their Code of Business Principles, which everyone at Unilever must follow, and their Business Partners Code for the companies with whom they work.

THE FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

Planning

Our mission

“Vitality is at the heart of everything we do. It's in our brands, our people and our approach to business.”

Careful planning ensures you build a strong foundation in professional skills, gain experience across different operating environments and processes, and develop capability in your chosen area of expertise. Performing well will lead to opportunities to take on new and more challenging roles. That in turn will allow you to deepen and broaden your skills and experience.

Always working with integrity

Conducting their operations with integrity and with respect for the many people, organisations and environments they touch has always been at the heart of their corporate responsibility.

Positive impact

The company aims to make a positive impact in many ways: through brands, commercial operations and relationships, through voluntary contributions, and through the various other ways in which they engage with society.

Continuous commitment

Unilever and Walls are committed to continuously improving the way they manage environmental impacts and are working towards their longer-term goal of developing a sustainable business.

Setting out aspirations

Their corporate purpose sets out their aspirations in running the business. It's underpinned by their code of business Principles which describes the operational standards that everyone at Unilever follows, wherever they are in the world. The code also supports there approach to governance and corporate responsibility.

Working with others

At Unilever they believe to work with suppliers who have values similar to their own and work to the same standards as they do. Our Business partner code, aligned to our own Code of business principles, comprises ten principles covering business integrity and responsibilities relating to employees, consumers and the environment.

Organizing

Depth & breadth

Depth of experience is about developing professional skills through performing and practising your role. They encourage you to build this depth of skill early in your career to provide a solid basis for further progression.

Breadth of experience is about increasing your knowledge and understanding of the business as a whole, so you can assess complex issues from different angles. Naturally, this becomes more important as seniority increases.

Wider experience

International experience is essential in many roles within a global organisation – and assignments offer valuable development opportunities. You can also gain exposure through regional/global roles and project teams.

In higher-level positions that have a wider geographic remit, cross-border, category and customer experience may be vital to help leverage our global scale.

Professional skills

Specific programs ensure you build expertise in your chosen career. The courses often use e-learning that enables you learn at your own pace and take control of your development. In some areas you can study for professional qualifications and, as you progress, you'll develop your leadership capabilities.

Continual update

Each function has its own Academy – a team that continually updates its professional learning curriculum. E-learning modules are then made available on a dedicated intranet portal. Here you'll also find the very latest news, articles and thinking. Essentially, everything you need to keep in touch with the business.

Personal development

Passion, energy and creative thinking are traits that you'll already have when you join. But equally important is the ability to understand who you are as an individual and what you want to achieve from your career. We offer a whole range of personal development opportunities which can be tailored to your specific goals.

Controlling

There's a remarkable breadth of career options open at Unilever. And whether you intend to apply to us or are considering a career in a different field, deciding what's best for you can be difficult.

Knowing which the right path is for you require real self-knowledge. So we've created this toolkit to help you learn more about yourself, which will help you choose the right career.

The management at Unilever formulated a system of self-actualization and to understand the needs and aspirations of its employees. The following diagram shows how this system of gaining information works:

This toolkit has been created for the personal use and in no way is part of their selection process. However it does reflect their approach to career development. For example they encourage people to:

- Be proactive and responsible towards their career

- Be self-aware and honest about your strengths and weaknesses

- Make plans for self-development and professional growth

- Build your networks and listen to advice

- Make clear, well considered
