Unilever simplifies organisation
London, 25 January 2022.
Unilever today announced changes to its organisational model to
make it a simpler, more category-focused
business.
The company will move away from its current matrix structure and
will be organised around five distinct Business Groups: Beauty
& Wellbeing, Personal Care, Home Care, Nutrition, and Ice
Cream. Each Business Group will be fully responsible and
accountable for their strategy, growth, and profit delivery
globally.
Alan Jope, CEO Unilever, explains, "Our new organisational model
has been developed over the last year and is designed to continue
the step-up we are seeing in the performance of our business.
Moving to five category-focused Business Groups will enable us to
be more responsive to consumer and channel trends, with
crystal-clear accountability for delivery. Growth remains our top
priority and these changes will underpin our pursuit of
this."
To enable Unilever to benefit from its scale and global
capabilities, the five Business Groups will be supported by
Unilever Business Operations, which will provide the technology,
systems, and processes to drive operational excellence across the
business. A lean Unilever Corporate Centre will continue to
set Unilever's overall strategy.
As a result of the new set-up, Unilever is making changes to its
leadership team.
· Fernando Fernandez, EVP Latin
America, has been appointed President Beauty & Wellbeing, which
includes Hair Care, Skin Care, as well as Vitamins, Minerals and
Supplements, and Unilever Prestige.
· Fabian Garcia, President North
America, has been appointed President Personal Care, responsible
for Skin Cleansing, Deodorants, and Oral Care.
· Peter ter Kulve will continue in his
role as President Home Care, responsible for Fabric Care, Home
& Hygiene, and Water & Air.
· Hanneke Faber, President Foods &
Refreshment, has been appointed President Nutrition, which will be
home to Scratch Cooking, Healthy Snacking, Functional Nutrition,
Plant-Based Meat, and Food Solutions.
· Matt Close, EVP Ice Cream, has been
appointed President Ice Cream, a Business Group in its own
right.
These appointments are effective from April 1, 2022.
In addition:
· Nitin Paranjpe, Chief Operating
Officer (COO), will take on a new role as Chief Transformation
Officer & Chief People Officer, leading the business
transformation, and heading the HR function.
· Reginaldo Ecclissato, Chief Supply
Chain Officer, will lead the Supply Chain and Unilever Business
Operations as Chief Business Operations Officer.
Sunny Jain, President Beauty & Personal Care, has decided to
leave Unilever to set up an investment fund in technology
megatrends. Other members of the Unilever Leadership Executive
(ULE) will remain in role, including Sanjiv Mehta who will retain
executive leadership of Hindustan Unilever.
The proposed new organisation model will result in a reduction in
senior management roles of around 15% and more junior
management roles by 5%, equivalent to around 1,500 roles globally.
Changes will be subject to consultation. We do not expect factory
teams to be impacted by these changes.
All costs related to setting up the new organisation will be
managed within existing restructuring investment
plans.
