Unilever Chairman announcement
Marijn Dekkers steps down; Nils Andersen appointed
Chairman
London / Rotterdam, 13 November 2019. Unilever today announced that Marijn Dekkers has
decided to step down as Chairman of the Board with immediate
effect. Nils Andersen, Non-Executive Director, has been appointed
by the Board to succeed Marijn as Chairman of
Unilever.
Marijn, who was appointed as Chairman of Unilever in April 2016,
has chosen to stand down as Chairman so that he can focus on his
growing responsibilities as Founder and Chairman of Novalis
LifeSciences, the investment and advisory firm. He will continue to
serve as a Non-Executive Director of Unilever.
Marijn said: "It has been a huge honour to serve as Chairman of
Unilever and I am very proud of the work we continue to do as a
truly purpose-driven company. My decision to step down has been a
difficult one to make but I look forward to seeing Unilever go from
strength to strength under Nils as Chairman."
Nils Andersen has served on the Unilever Board since April 2015 and
is currently a member of the Board's Audit Committee. He has
significant business experience and was previously Group Chief
Executive Officer of A.P. Moller - Maersk A/S from 2007 to 2016 and
President and Chief Executive Officer of Carlsberg A/S and
Carlsberg Breweries A/S from 2001 to 2007.
Nils has served as Chairman at AkzoNobel N.V. since April 2018 and
is a Non-Executive Director at BP plc. Nils also serves as Chairman
of the privately-held Salling Group A/S. He intends to step down
from his roles at BP plc and Salling Group A/S in March 2020, prior
to the Unilever AGM.
Nils said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Marijn
for his strong leadership and the contribution he has made as
Chairman. I am very proud to have been asked to succeed Marijn and
I look forward to working with the Board and the Unilever
Leadership team to support the company's continued
growth."
Nils will step down from the Audit Committee and be appointed as
Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and as a
member of the Compensation Committee. Marijn will remain as a
member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee.
This announcement contains inside information. This is a public
announcement pursuant to article 17 paragraph 1 of the European

About Unilever
Unilever is one of the world's leading suppliers of Beauty &
Personal Care, Home Care, and Foods & Refreshment products with
sales in over 190 countries and reaching 2.5 billion consumers a
day. It has 155,000 employees and generated sales of €51
billion in 2018. Over half (60%) of the company's footprint is in
developing and emerging markets. Unilever has around 400 brands
found in homes all over the world, including Dove, Knorr, Dirt Is
Good, Rexona, Hellmann's, Lipton, Wall's, Lux, Magnum, Axe, Sunsilk
and Surf.
Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) underpins the company's
strategy and commits to:
· Helping
more than a billion people take action to improve their health and
well-being by 2020.
· Halving
the environmental impact of our products by
2030.
· Enhancing
the livelihoods of millions of people by 2020.
The USLP creates value by driving growth and trust, eliminating
costs and reducing risks. In 2018, the company's Sustainable Living
Brands grew 69% faster than the rest of the business, compared to
46% in 2017.
Since 2010 we have been taking action through the Unilever
Sustainable Living Plan to help more than a billion people improve
their health and well-being, halve our environmental footprint and
enhance the livelihoods of millions of people as we grow our
business. We have already made significant progress and continue to
expand our ambition - most recently committing to ensure 100% of
our plastic packaging is fully reusable, recyclable or compostable
by 2025. While there is still more to do, we are proud to have been
recognised in 2019 as a leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index, and as the top ranked company in the
GlobeScan/SustainAbility Global Corporate Sustainability Leaders
survey, since 2011.
