Beyond originating the Unilever Enable Community, a network of employees who are people with a disability, Unilever has created an Accessibility Centre of Excellence to ensure inclusive practises, including accessible IT, recruitment, communications, and workplace designs, are in place in every global office by 2025.
Unilever is also driving change both in front of and behind the camera to better reflect the world we live in and the consumers they serve.
