Cost savings support the reset
Unilever plans to deliver EUR 1 billion in productivity savings by the end of 2029. The program is intended to address stranded costs from the Foods transaction as well as savings from organizational simplification, process redesign and technology initiatives, according to a Nasdaq report.
The company retains a medium-term target of 4% to 6% annual underlying sales growth, at least 2% underlying volume growth and modest improvement in underlying operating margin. Its revised operating model will group markets into six performance units, with leadership appointments taking effect on January 1, 2027.
