Unilever Corporate Events
Unilever has published its 2025 Annual Report and Accounts and its 2025 Form 20-F, making the documents available on its website and through key regulatory channels in the UK, the Netherlands and the U.S. The filings, covering the year ended 31 December 2025, reinforce the group’s compliance with multi-jurisdictional reporting standards and provide investors with detailed insight into its financial performance, risks and governance.
The company also updated the market on governance changes, confirming that the appointment of Belén Garijo López as an independent non-executive director to the Unilever board, first announced in October 2025, is now expected to take effect during 2027. This delay in a planned board addition may draw attention from governance-focused investors, though Unilever’s reiteration of its risk disclosures and regulatory transparency underlines its efforts to maintain confidence among stakeholders across its major listing venues.

Unilever reported 2025 underlying sales growth of 3.5% driven by a 1.5% rise in volumes, resilient margins and strong contributions from its Power Brands, even as headline turnover declined due to currency headwinds and disposals. The group expanded its underlying operating margin to 20.0%, lifted earnings, generated robust free cash flow and raised its dividend while announcing a €1.5 billion share buyback.
Management accelerated portfolio reshaping by completing the demerger of the Ice Cream business and executing ten portfolio transactions, increasing exposure to Beauty & Wellbeing and Personal Care and exiting non-core food assets. Operational changes, including category-led sales structures and resets in Indonesia and China, underpinned stronger emerging-market performance and support guidance for modestly higher margins and low-end-of-range sales growth in 2026 despite slower markets.
