Although the Group’s operations are managed on a geographical basis, the two Foods and Home and Personal Care categories manage brands
which we group into our principal product areas; these are our secondary reporting segments and are listed below. In 2006, we reviewed the
structure of our secondary reporting segments in the light of the planned disposal of the majority of our European frozen foods businesses. As
aconsequence we are presenting the main product areas in four reporting segments, as opposed to six reporting segments in 2005. We have
presented the information on this basis, as the products in each of the four reported segments are substantially similar in nature, and combining
the segments provides more meaningful information. Information for prior years has been restated accordingly.
Savoury, dressings and spreads –including sales of soups, bouillons, sauces, snacks, mayonnaise, salad dressings, olive oil, margarines and
spreads, and cooking products such as liquid margarines.
Ice cream and beverages –including sales of ice cream, tea, weight management products, and nutritionally enhanced staples sold in
developing markets.
Personal care –including sales of skin care and hair care products, deodorants and anti-perspirants, and oral care products.
Home care and other operations –including sales of home care products, such as laundry powders and liquids, and a wide range of cleaning
products. To support our consumer brands, we own tea plantations and palm oil plantations, the results of which are reported within this segment.
