I am interested in finding out more about the history of Unilever. How did the Company begin?
Unilever has a rich and colourful history spanning more than 70 years. Unilever was formed in 1930 when the Dutch margarine company, Margarine Unie, merged with British soapmaker Lever Brothers. Both companies were competing for the same raw materials, both were involved in the large-scale marketing of household products and both used similar distribution channels. Between them they had operations in over 40 countries. Margarine Unie grew through mergers with other margarine companies in the 1920s. Lever Brothers was founded in 1885 by William Hesketh Lever. Lever established soap factories around the world. In 1917, he began to diversify into foods, acquiring fish, ice cream and canned foods businesses.
You can find out more in our History section.

Does Unilever test any of its products on animals?
The short answer is: we are committed to the elimination of animal testing for our business. This is our policy on animal testing and it is applied in all of our companies around the world. For over 20 years it has been our policy to reduce, refine and replace animal testing by substituting alternative methods. The vast majority of Unilever products have in the past reached the consumer without any testing of any material on animals and will continue to do so in the future.
How much effort does Unilever put into environmental initiatives?
We take environmental issues very seriously and we are committed to improving and maintaining the integrity of the environment and society in every country in which we operate.

Can you explain the differences between Unilever shares in the UK & the US?
An American Depositary Receipt or ADR is a negotiable instrument that represents ownership in securities of a non-US company. It is a mechanism that facilitates US trading of non-US securities. ADRs provide US investors with a convenient way to invest in overseas securities. ADRs are issued by a depositary bank and are traded in the same manner as shares in US companies on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), Nasdaq and the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
