Appointment of Non-Executive Director
London, 13 October 2021 - Unilever PLC today announces that Ruby Lu
has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the company, with
effect from 1 November 2021. Ruby will join both the Compensation
Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Nils Andersen, Chairman of Unilever, said: "I am very pleased that
Ruby has agreed to join the Board. She has had a successful
executive career, and will further strengthen the Board with her
extensive financial and global market experience".

the U.S. and China. Ruby founded Atypical Ventures, an early-stage

co-founded DCM China, a venture capital firm. During her more than
12-year tenure at DCM, she invested in, and served as a board
member for, many leading technology companies. Prior to joining DCM
in 2003, Ruby was a vice president in the investment banking group
of technology, media and telecommunications at Goldman Sachs &
Co.
Ruby is currently a Non-Executive Director at Uxin Limited and Yum
China. Within the last five years, Ruby has been a Non-Executive
Director at two other companies which were publicly quoted during

This announcement may contain forward-looking statements, including
'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such
as 'will', 'aim', 'expects', 'anticipates', 'intends', 'looks',
'believes', 'vision', or the negative of these terms and other
similar expressions of future performance or results, and their
negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current
expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and
other factors affecting the Unilever Group (the 'Group'). They are
not historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future
performance.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Among other risks and
uncertainties, the material or principal factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially are: Unilever's global brands
not meeting consumer preferences; Unilever's ability to innovate
and remain competitive; Unilever's investment choices in its
portfolio management; the effect of climate change on Unilever's
business; Unilever's ability to find sustainable solutions to its
plastic packaging; significant changes or deterioration in customer
relationships; the recruitment and retention of talented employees;
disruptions in our supply chain and distribution; increases or
volatility in the cost of raw materials and commodities; the
production of safe and high quality products; secure and reliable
IT infrastructure; execution of acquisitions, divestitures and
business transformation projects; economic, social and political
risks and natural disasters; financial risks; failure to meet high
and ethical standards; and managing regulatory, tax and legal
matters. A number of these risks have increased as a result of the
current Covid-19 pandemic. These forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date of this document. Except as required by any
applicable law or regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to
reflect any change in the Group's expectations with regard thereto
or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any
such statement is based.
