Profile
Sells branded beauty, personal-care, home-care and food products through four business groups and a geographically broad network. Growth execution centers on a smaller set of power brands and portfolio rotation; ice cream is already separated, while the agreed combination of most Foods operations with McCormick remains pending.
Markets branded products across Beauty & Wellbeing, Personal Care, Home Care and Foods, spanning skin care, hair care, deodorants, household cleaning and condiments. The portfolio is managed through global consumer brands and sold across a geographically broad network shaped by decades of local-market operations.
Execution centers on a smaller set of power brands, portfolio rotation and simplified business groups. Ice cream was separated in 2025, leaving four groups in continuing operations.
The business depends on brand strength, product safety, supply-chain integrity and compliance across many jurisdictions. Climate, nature, plastics and livelihoods remain formal operating commitments. A signed combination of most Foods operations with McCormick is still pending, so Foods remains part of the current perimeter.
