Unilever Sri Lanka Change location
It’s why we come to work. It’s why we’re in business. It’s how we inspire exceptional performance.
Back in 1883, Sunlight Soap was launched in the UK by our founder – it was pioneering, it was innovative and it had a purpose: to popularise cleanliness and bring it within reach of ordinary people. That was sustainable living, even then. We now have over 400 brands and we are still driven by purpose.
We want to do more good for our planet and our society – not just less harm. We want to act on the social and environmental issues facing the world and we want to enhance people’s lives with our products.
We’ve been pioneers, innovators and future-makers for over 120 years – we plan to continue doing that. And we plan to do it sustainably.
We have been deeply rooted in Sri Lankan society for over 84 years, curating a landscape that preserves and nurtures the true Sri Lankan way of life. Recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s leading fast-moving consumer goods companies, we produce 96% of our products locally, touching the lives of 21 million Sri Lankans on a daily basis.
As a company that is committed to be a force for good, our purpose-led initiatives have fostered enduring bonds with every Sri Lankan household we have touched over the years. This strong connection has been nurtured through our best-in-class portfolio of brands geared to set industry standards whilst enhancing the livelihoods of the communities we operate in. As a company that is part of a larger eco system that encourages diversity and inclusion, we recognise that only a sustainable business can deliver exceptional outcomes.
