A remarkable history
William Hesketh Lever was determined to revolutionise Victorian England's standards of cleanliness and hygiene: so he created Vim Soap.

The power of nature
Whereas other products are only just beginning to realise the importance and power of natural ingredients, Vim's use of the power of lemons to provide its unbeatable degreasing power is well-established. We also use other natural products, such as lime, vinegar and green tea to maximise the results, and minimise the number of chemicals in our products and in the environment.
Key Facts Vim was the original hand dishwashing brand: so we invented the whole category! Vim is sold in four continents, is the leading hand dishwashing brand in twenty countries,
and is available to more than 2 billion people around the world.

Water
Pureit is the world’s most advanced in-home water purifier. Pureit, a breakthrough offering of Hindustan Unilever (HUL), provides complete protection from all water-borne diseases, unmatched convenience and affordability.
31
Pureit’s unique Germkill Battery technology kills all harmful viruses and bacteria and removes parasites and pesticide impurities, giving you water that is "as safe as boiled water". It assures your family 100% protection from all water-borne diseases like jaundice, diarrhea, typhoid and cholera. What’s more, it doesn’t need gas, electricity or continuous tap water supply.
Pureit not only renders water micro-biologically safe, but also makes the water clear, odourless and good-tasting. Pureit does not leave any residual chlorine in the output water.
The output water from Pureit meets stringent criteria for microbiologically safe drinking water, from one of the toughest regulatory agencies in the USA, EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
The performance of Pureit has also been tested by leading scientific and medical institutions in India and abroad.
This patented technological breakthrough has been developed by HUL. This state-of –the-art engineering developed by a team of over 100 Indian and international experts from HUL and Unilever Research Centres has made Pureit possible at the consumer price of just Rs. 2000
Pureit runs with a unique ‘Germkill Battery Kit’™ that typically lasts for 1500 litres* of water. The ‘Germkill Battery Kit’™is priced at Rs.365. This means consumers will get 4 litres of water that is ‘as safe as boiled water’ ™ for just one rupee, which works out to an extremely affordable 24 paise per litre.
Pureit in-home purification system uses a 4 stage purification process to deliver “as safe as boiled water” without the use of electricity and pressurized tap water. Pureit purifies the input drinking water in four stages, namely;
1. Micro-fiber MeshTM - Removes visible dirt
2. Compact Carbon TrapTM - removes remaining dirt, harmful parasites & pesticide impurities
3. Germkill ProcessorTM – uses 'programmed chlorine release chlorine technology' and its stored germkill process targets and kills harmful virus and bacteria
4. PolisherTM – removes residual chlorine and all disinfectant by-products, giving clear odourless and great tasting water
5. Battery Life Indicator - Ensures total safety because when the germkill power is exhausted, the indicator turns red, warning you to replace the battery
Advanced Auto-Switch off - In case, the battery is not changed when it turns fully red, as an additional assurance of safety, the advanced Auto-Switch off will automatically switch-off the flow of water.

NutritionWe've created policies and guidelines to ensure we always act responsibly when it comes to health and nutrition.
Acting responsibly
Millions of people around the world enjoy the foods and drinks we create. So the ingredients we use, the formulations, and the way we advertise and market our brands can potentially make a big impact on global health.
We aim to act responsibly and have a strong nutrition policy. We've also developed a carefully considered approach to health and nutrition which includes:
encouraging a balanced diet with the right amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals
developing a growing range of low fat, low sugar, low calorie alternatives, plus more 'active health' products
marketing responsibility our foods and beverages and helping to reduce over-consumption
helping people understand the nutritional benefits of our products
creating products that reflect the fact that people will only eat foods that they enjoy
having sound specific evidence underpinning all our claims
33
making significant contributions to researching the relationship on nutrition and health, such as the effects of good fats (unsalted fats), fruits & vegetables and vitamins and minerals
Clear communication
We've also developed a set of marketing principles to ensure we're always 'honest, decent and truthful' in our communication – which include special principles on advertising to children.
As well as excluding anything that appears to condone over-consumption in our marketing, we also prohibit anything that undermines the promotion of healthy, balanced diets and lifestyles, or misrepresents snacks as meals. We will also make sure that any claims made in our marketing about any of our products are supported by scientific evidence.
Under our principles for marketing to children, we ensure our advertisements don't convey misleading messages, don't undermine parental influence, don't encourage pester power, don't suggest time or price pressure, don't encourage unhealthy dietary habits, and don't blur the boundary between promotion and content.
In addition, as well as supporting the development of international self-regulatory codes for all marketing and advertising, we recently agreed to voluntarily restrict all paid marketing communications (with the exception of packaging) directed primarily at children under the age of six years.
We believe that by putting these principles in place, we're not only doing the right thing, but we're being proactive through voluntary self-regulation – instead of simply reacting to external pressures.
Health, hygiene & beautyUnilever's vitality mission is a mandate to help people feel good, look good and get more out of life. At the heart of this mission is hygiene and health through hygiene.
At the heart of our mission
What does 'vitality' really mean to billions of people in the world? How does it manifest itself in their lives? What does it add to their lives when it is present? What are the consequences when it is absent?
The desire to be clean, active, energetic and healthy is common to every person, whether young or old, whether rich or poor. To billions in the developing world, health is simply the absence of illness. For them, health is the ability to go to work, to provide a square meal for their families. For their children, health is the ability to play, to go to school, to work towards a better future. For the affluent, health is more than just physical well being. For them the signs of good health – being active, energetic, feeling good, looking good – allow them to get the most out of life. Yet for the millions of mothers who lose their children to diarrhoea and upper respiratory infections, health is simply about staying alive.

New risks
"The risks are likely to intensify," says Sally Bloomfield, a member of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene (IFH), which receives an educational grant from Unilever. "As populations age and the incidence of immuno-deficient diseases such as AIDS rises, more people will be vulnerable to the consequences of poor hygiene."
"Infectious diseases are also hopping around the world quicker than before due to globalisation, as we saw with SARS and now with Swine Flu. In some cases, you can't treat these with antibiotics as they're viral; others are bacterial but resistant to antibiotics, such as the hospital superbug MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)."
New pathogens – agents that can cause disease – are also constantly appearing. Since the 1970s, at least one new pathogen has been recorded each year. Good hygiene is often the only way to avoid many pathogens and their consequences.
A simple solution
One of the main stumbling blocks, says Dr Val Curtis at the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, is that most people do not use one of the world's most basic and widely available home hygiene products – the humble bar of soap.
"Hands are a superhighway for transmitting germs, but most people don't wash their hands with soap and water at key times," she explains. "In the UK, for example, only 30% of people wash their hands after going to the toilet and only 43% after changing a nappy." The statistics in developing countries are similar.
Health through hygiene
So what's Hindustan Unilever doing?
One of our oldest brands, Lifebuoy, exemplifies our commitment to champion health through hygiene for everyone.
Healthy living
Washing your hands with anti-bacterial soap is one way of helping to prevent the spread of disease.
