  • A product donation of soaps and sanitiser of at least €50m to the COVID Action Platform of the World Economic Forum
  • Product donations, partnerships and handwashing education programmes

Unilever will offer €500m of cash flow relief to support livelihoods across its extended value chain, through:

  • Early payment for our most vulnerable small and medium sized suppliers
  • Extending credit to selected small-scale retail customers whose business relies on Unilever

Unilever will protect its workforce from sudden drops in pay, as a result of market disruption or being unable to perform their role, for up to three months.
