Building for consistent, higher performance
2024 was a year of transformation for Unilever. We stepped up our operational performance,
sharpened our portfolio, and started to put in place a leaner, more productive organisational
model. However, we know there is more work to do to ensure we deliver improvements on a
consistent basis.
In a world of ever-increasing consumer expectations and rapidly advancing technology, it is
more important than ever that we leverage our innovative, market-making and pioneering
capabilities.
The Growth Action Plan 2030 is our strategic response to these opportunities and challenges.
It will enable us to focus, excel and accelerate in the areas that are critical to our future
success – unlocking the full potential of Unilever to deliver best-in-class performance for our
shareholders and stakeholders.
