Unilever Plc reported steady growth in the second quarter of 2025, driven by consumer enthusiasm for its new eco-friendly and sustainable product lines. The company recorded revenues of €17.5 billion, a 7% increase year-over-year, reflecting strong performances across personal care, home products, and foods.
The personal care segment, which includes brands like Dove and Love Beauty and Planet, grew 9%, driven by the introduction of biodegradable packaging and formulas free of harmful chemicals. Consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability, and Unilever’s innovation in this area has bolstered brand loyalty.
CEO Helena Morris emphasized the company’s focus on sustainability and innovation. “Our investments in circular packaging and carbon-neutral operations are not only good for the planet but are resonating with consumers worldwide,” Morris said during the earnings call.
Unilever’s food division also expanded with plant-based and organic product launches meeting growing consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable diets.
The company accelerated its digital transformation, enhancing online sales platforms and deploying AI-driven supply chain optimizations, improving delivery speed and reducing waste.
Despite global inflationary pressures on raw materials, Unilever maintained margins through pricing strategies and operational efficiencies.
The company announced a new sustainability goal to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2032, accelerating previous commitments.
Unilever’s marketing campaigns emphasizing ethical sourcing and fair trade contributed to increased sales in Europe and Asia, particularly in urban centers with environmentally conscious consumers.
Analysts view Unilever’s sustainability-driven growth as a competitive advantage in a crowded consumer goods market. “Unilever’s integration of purpose and profit continues to attract loyal customers and investors alike,” said industry analyst Marco Silva.
Shares of Unilever gained 2.7% on the London Stock Exchange after the earnings report.
Looking forward, Unilever plans to expand its sustainable product range globally and deepen investments in renewable energy and water conservation technologies.
