Analysis by product area
Although the Group’s operations are managed on a geographical basis, our category team manages brands which we group into four principal
product areas; these are secondary reporting segments and are listed below.
Savoury, dressings and spreads – including sales of soups, bouillons, sauces, snacks, mayonnaise, salad dressings, margarines and spreads,
and cooking products such as liquid margarines.
Ice cream and beverages – including sales of ice cream, tea-based beverages, 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 tablets, powders and liquids, soap bars and a wide
range of cleaning products. To support our consumer brands, we own tea plantations, the results of which are reported within this segment.
