01 / Behind the name
Publicly listed · London, Amsterdam and New York [1]
Intermediate holdings and other UK subsidiaries are omitted. The ice-cream business was demerged in 2025, so Magnum and Ben & Jerry’s are not included as current brand aliases. The announced Foods combination with McCormick remains subject to completion in the reviewed transaction update. [1][5]

Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Brands and named ranges from Unilever’s global directory, 21 regional catalogues and group portfolio disclosures, supplemented by official brand websites. Regional names and sub-brands are included. Listed markets identify the sources checked, not every country of sale or worldwide ownership rights. Some regional sites no longer publish a catalogue, so this is not a complete register of every trademark.
Brand research reviewed . Ownership and tax figures elsewhere on this page describe the group, not individual brands.

Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s, Wall’s and the other demerged ice-cream brands are outside this current operating portfolio. Remaining Indian and Portuguese ice-cream interests were sold in 2026. [1][31]
Graze and SariWangi left the portfolio in 2026. Conimex, The Vegetarian Butcher and Kate Somerville were sold in 2025. [1][31][32]
The Foods combination with McCormick remains pending in the reviewed update; the food brands are retained here. Lipton and certain other names require market-specific interpretation. [5][33]
03 / The figures, with context
The 2025 group cash-flow statement does not separately identify UK cash corporation tax. Its continuing-operation payment excludes the separately disclosed discontinued-operation tax payment. Earlier UK-scoped contribution disclosures and the dated 2025 research gap are retained rather than replaced with a worldwide amount. The consolidated cash-flow statement reports EUR 2,720m income tax paid on continuing operations. A further EUR 177m is shown separately for discontinued operations and is not included in this amount. Both are worldwide measures, not UK corporation tax.
