Report for the year 1968 to be submitted at the general meeting of shareholders to be held ot the company’s offices, Burgemeester s’jacobplein 1, Rotterdam, on 7th May 1969. The year in brief Combined sales to third parties rose by about 1.6O/, over 1967 to FI. 20,032 million, combined profit before taxation by about 6”/, to FI. 1,494 million. This comparison is based on the figures for 1967 published last year: if, for a fairer comparison, Limited’s total sales and profit for 1967 are converted at the rates prevailing after sterling devaluation, the increases are 7.3O/, and 10.5O/, respectively. In spite of this higher operating profit, the profit accruing to the ordinary capital of N.V. and Limited (which was already converted in the 1967 accounts at the post-devaluation rates) increased by only a little more than 7”/, to FI. 728 million, largely owing to higher rates of taxation in many countries. Higher sales were achieved in most product groups, notably in foods, detergents and toilet preparations, paper, printing, packaging, plastics and chemicals. All the main product groups except detergents and toilet preparations and animal feeds contributed to the increase in profits. Sales to third parties, profit and capital employed by geographical areas I g5g and I 968 Africa includes all our operations in that continent-namely The United Africa Group operations, the manufacturing businesses and the plantation interests. * Excluding interests not consolidated of FI. 61 million. 8 Return on capital employed and on turnover 1959-1968 The charts on both pages are based on the profit, after taxation, but before loan interest.

  • Unilever Acquires the Vegetarian Butcher
    Unilever acquires The Vegetarian Butcher 20 December 2018 | News | By NFS Correspondent Keeping in mind its new strategy of expanding its portfolio into plant-based foods that are healthier and have a lower environmental impact, Unilever has acquired The Vegetarian Butcher For The Vegetarian Butcher, the acquisition is the next step in its ambition to grow into ‘the largest butcher in the world’. Jaap Korteweg, a ninth-generation meat farmer and a real meat lover, became a vegetarian and founded The Vegetarian Butcher in 2007 to satiate his own need for quality ‘meat’, which was not produced from animals. The products made by The Vegetarian Butcher are being sold in over 4,000 outlets in 17 countries. According to Korteweg, the acquisition has come at the right time. “We want to take the next step - conquer the world. It is our mission to make plant-based ‘meat’ the standard. We believe that with Unilever’s international network, this acquisition will help to accelerate our mission.” Unilever and The Vegetarian Butcher started working together in 2016 when they jointly launched the ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Satay Sauce’ and ‘Vegetarian Meatballs in Tomato Sauce’, which were marketed under the Unox brand. The acquisition is a step on Unilever’s journey towards a portfolio with more plant-based products. Currently, Unilever is selling nearly 700 products with V-label in Europe. In the Netherlands, these include products from Unox, Knorr, Hellmann’s, Conimex and Ben & Jerry’s brands. Nitin Paranjpe, President Foods & Refreshment Unilever: “The Vegetarian Butcher is a brand with a clear mission, many loyal ambassadors, a good following on social media and a strong position in the market.

  • 1971 Annual Report and Account
    Unilever NV Report and Accounts 1976 The Unilever group of companies provides a wide range of products and services in some 75 countries, employing over 300 000 people. It has existed for nearly 50 years as a group, but can trace its roots much further back than that. There are two parent companies: Unilever N.V., Rotterdam, and Unilever Limited, London. Equal partners, they have identical Boards of Directors and are linked by agreements, one of which equalises the dividends payable on the ordinary capital of N.V. and of Limited, according to a formula set out elsewhere in this Report. Unilever operates as one group. The combined affairs of N.V. and Limited are, therefore, more important to shareholders than those of the two separate companies and the Report and Accounts deals, as usual, with the operations and results of Unilever as a whole: except where stated otherwise, all the figures are for N.V. and Limited combined. The larger part of Unilever is in branded and packaged consumer goods: mainly foods, detergents and toilet preparations. The foods include margarine, other fats and oils, ice cream, frozen and other convenience products, meat, fish, tea and other drinks. Unilever has other important activities, such as chemicals, paper, plastics and packaging, animal feeds, transport and tropical plantations. UAC International, a major Unilever company, has substantial interests in Africa and other parts of the world in diverse industrial ventures, and as merchants and specialist distributors. Unilever is one of the dozen largest businesses in the world by turnover- and the largest in consumer goods.
