32%
Women make up a large number of our
consumers and 32% of our workforce, so
are crucal to the future sustanablty of
Unlever as a busness
In 2015, wth UN Women, we announced
our commtment over the next three years
to expand economc opportuntes for
women n our value chan, help reduce
unpad care work and mprove safety for
women and grls
It also descrbes key areas of focus for
the future Unlever cannot succeed alone
and beng honest about the challenges
s crucal to progress Therefore we wll
contnue to address human rghts ssues
beyond frst-ter supplers, takng a
commodty and geographcal focus, and
collaboratng wth other organsatons n
order to nfluence systemc change We
wll also ensure that we track progress
robustly, by buldng frameworks for
mproved data collecton, verfcaton
and analyss
We want to go beyond respectng
to actvely promotng human rghts,
embeddng ths nto every part of
our busness

contrbute to our growth s underpnned by
our lobal Well-beng programme Each
market has a comprehensve plan whch
ncorporates physcal and mental plus
emotonal and purposeful well-beng In
2015 we bult and rolled out nternatonally
our well-beng workshop, Thrve, whch s
avalable to all By the end of 2015, 17,000
employees across Unlever n all markets
had attended a Well-beng programme
DIVERSITY AND INLUSION
We beleve n a dverse workforce to serve
our dverse consumer base Incluson s
the foundaton of a sustanable, strong
culture We want our people to feel
confdent, comfortable and able to reach
ther potental regardless of gender, age,
ablty, background or sexual preference
Our atttude to dversty and ncluson also
reflects our wder values as a roup, whch
defne how we do busness and how we
nteract wth our colleagues, partners,
customers and consumers Our four core
values are ntegrty responsblty
respect and beng poneerng
On gender equalty we contnue to make
progress, although work remans By the
end of 2015, 45% of our total management
were women, up from 38% n 2010 and
25 countres have reached ther gender
balance targets for management
At the most senor levels, however, the
ratos are not as hgh Among the top 101
executve managers, 23 (23%) were women
compared wth 18% n 2014 If you nclude
employees who are statutory drectors
of the corporate enttes whose fnancal
nformaton s ncluded n the roup’s 2015
consoldated accounts n ths Annual
Report and Accounts, the number
ncreases to 536 males and 146 (21%)
females 50% (sx out of 12) of the Board
s female, compared wth 36% n 2014
Of our total workforce of 168,921, 114,975
(68%) were male and 53,946 (32%) were
female at the end of 2015
We wll contnue to work to mprove these
performance statstcs We are commtted
to creatng opportuntes for women and to
empowerng them n a way that goes
beyond our own operatons and nto our
wder stakeholder communtes through
our supply chan partners – partcularly
among smallholder farmers
We have the clearly artculated ambton
of empowerng 5 mllon women by 2020
through our USLP, helpng women and the
communtes n whch they lve and work
to mprove ther lvelhoods
To encourage more women nto
management, we have partnered wth
INSEAD snce 2013 on the INSEAD-
Unlever Women Leadershp Program
whch s delvered at our Four Acres
