Working with some of Unilever’s biggest and most iconic brands such as Dove, Axe, Signal & Rexona, the Europe Personal Care BU is a key cell for market share, growth and profitability in a highly competitive landscape, and is served by 6 European Sourcing Units and a large 3PM network. The PC Europe BU has a clear focus on driving sustainable profitable growth through powerful brands & innovation and an agile mindset towards managing channel dynamics.
Personal Care BNX is a 180 mio business and our strategic role is to competitively grow. Strong value-led growth will continuously be required to develop already well-established categories & share positions. To do so, the BG PC strategy is built around 3 principles (Assert Leadership; Disaggregate locally; Simplify) and 4 strategic thrusts (Make it Premium, Profitable, Positive & Personal). The BNX personal care strategy is fully aligned to this. Our objectives are to:
1. Grow deodorants via premiumization (good-better-best approach) of the full portfolio (Dove, Axe, Rexona, DM+C)
2. Premiumise Skin Cleansing to improve Profitable Growth: by sustainably premiumising and supporting on Dove Skin Cleansing & asserting leadership in growing consumer demand spaces
3. Rebuild Oral Care for Growth: grow more from the core, resetting brand portfolio to match key consumer demand spaces in different price tiers and cracking consistent investment model behind Signal and Prodent to lift the brand power and consumer relevance.
4. Transform channel footprint towards higher growth- & higher value channels and customers, based on aligned channel portfolio strategy with focus on H&B & dCommerce
With strong global and local competition, the innovation pace is high within the PC market. This makes it highly important to - next to securing a strong and healthy core - we unlock key demand and on trend spaces timely to both drive and ride the wave of category growth. As per the new strategy, renovation/innovation will be done for multiple countries at once (PC6 focus), with the lead sitting in one of the BG-led markets (UK for deo, NL for SCL, IT/FR for oral care).
