21% from home care

So next my friend is going to explain the organization structure of unilever.

1885-1899: Product innovation

In the late 19th Century, at Oss in Brabant, the Netherlands, Jurgens and Van den

Bergh – two family businesses of butter merchants – have thriving export trades to

the UK.

1900-1909: New focus on raw materials

In the early part of the 20th Century, margarine and soap producing businesses

start to move further into each other's markets.


1910-1919: A decade of change

he UK market for soap reaches saturation point, so Lever Brothers concentrates on

acquisitions instead.

1920 - 1929: Unilever is formed

By the end of the 1920s Jurgens owns margarine factories in Scotland, Ireland and

England and Lord Leverhulme controls 60% of the output of UK soap

manufacturing.

1930 - 1939: Overcoming challenges

The 1930s is a tough decade – it starts with the Great Depression and ends with a

new world war.

1940 - 1949: Focusing on local needs

During the war years Unilever is effectively broken up, with businesses in German

and Japanese-occupied territory cut off from London and Rotterdam.

1950 - 1959: A post-war consumer boom


From the late 40s into the 50s the development of new mass markets for consumer

goods - including Africa and Asia - provide opportunities for expansion.

1960 - 1969: A time for growth

The 1960s brings optimism and new ideas as the world economy expands and

standards of living continue to rise.

1970 - 1979: Diversifying in a tough climate

During the 1970s, hard economic conditions – including high inflation in the wake

of the 1973 oil crisis – leads to flat sales.

1980 - 1989: Focusing on the core

At the start of the 1980s, Unilever is the world's 26th largest business.

1990 - 1999: Restructuring and consolidating

The new business focus continues with the number of categories in which Unilever

competes cut from over 50 to just 13 by the end of the decade.

2000 - 2009: Forging new paths

As the challenges facing businesses, the environment and communities grow,

Unilever transforms organisationally and strategically to ensure we remain a

sustainable business.
2010 - Present: Sustainable living

Recognising that we are at a turning point in history, we develop our strategy of

decoupling growth from our environmental impact, while increasing Unilever's

positive social impact.
