Unilever wants to empower five million women in its network by 2020. Advancement opportunities, skills development and expansion routes are some of the tools it is using to accomplish this vision.

In order to achieve its lofty ambitions Unilever has created a repeatable model which prioritises: sustained leadership accountability and awareness building; clear targets and measurement; programmes to recruit, retain and develop female talent; internal and external communications and engagement and; a network of diversity and inclusion champions.

“Unilever contributes to the economic well-being of many communities through employment, training and our value chain. We will need to be at its best in every aspect of its functioning and HR will ensure that it helps power the organisation’s success by not just bringing in the right people into the right jobs but also in harnessing the powerful enablers of digital and analytics and Unilever’s purpose driven culture to achieve exponential growth.”
