Our culture

The important things in life

It varies around the world because, naturally, people have different points of view depending on where they live. But some things are consistent; important things that determine how we interact with colleagues and partners, customers and consumers.

Most important are our high standards of corporate behavior, which are enshrined in our code of business principles. We also have high ethical standards, both in terms of people and the environment.

What's more, we are proud of this business and what it does – bringing trusted products to millions across the globe. In fact we have a phrase for our philosophy: 'doing well by doing good'.

We value colleagues as individuals, we're friendly towards each other and we're informal in terms of corporate behaviour and, to a large extent, dress code. We go out of our way to build personal networks throughout the company, not just in our area of responsibility.

Finally, we believe in everyone's ability to develop and grow. Whatever our function, role or level, we all have an equal right to take advantage of learning opportunities and progress how we want to in our chosen careers.

Be yourself

Our people have a passion for achievement, strive for outstanding results and are determined to get things done.

To make sure that happens each and every day, we have created a working environment in which you can be yourself. After all, as a business we need to be as diverse as our millions of consumers around the world.
