Values & strategy
We meet everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care with brands that help people feel good, look good and get more out of life. Our aspiration is to meet these needs in a sustainable way.
Purpose & commitments
At the heart of our corporate purpose is the drive to grow sustainably and in this way create long-term value for all those with a stake in the business.
Our efforts are guided by our Code of Business Principles which sets the standards of behaviour we demand from all our employees. It also outlines our commitments to our stakeholders including consumers, customers, suppliers, employees, communities and the environment. Our Business Partner Code draws on the Code of Business Principles to set out ten standards we expect our suppliers to meet.
To fulfil our commitments, we have a strategy in place supported by company-wide governance and management structures.
