We want our business to flourish, and we know that our success depends on others flourishing around us.
That's why our purpose is to make sustainable living commonplace, and why sustainable, long-term growth is at the heart of our business model.
We set three big goals for us to make sustainable living commonplace:
- Help more than a billion people improve their health and wellbeing
- Halving the environmental footprint of our products
- Sourcing 100% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably and enhancing the livelihoods of people across our value chains.

Furthermore, we want to help build a more equitable and inclusive society. That’s why we have recently announced our new social commitments; to raise living standards, create opportunities through inclusivity and prepare people for the future of work.

Unilever is the place where you can bring your purpose to life with the work that you do – creating a better business and a better world. You will work on brands that are loved and improve the lives of our consumers and the communities around us. You will lead innovations, big and small, that will make our business win and grow. You will learn from brilliant business leaders and colleagues who provide mentorship and inspiration so that you can become a better you.

UFLP is a 3 year program to develop tomorrow's leaders today.
Our Future Leaders Programme will ignite the leader in you. This unique programme is designed to develop Unilever’s Future Leaders (UFL) by providing challenging and purposeful opportunities that accelerate their readiness to take on business leadership roles. The programme encompasses rotations within and across functions in an accelerated learning environment. This includes extended leadership contact, formal training and professional development. Create your journey through experiences, explore your potential, and join us to shape the future:
- Commercial (sales & marketing)
- Supply Chain & Production
- Human Resources
- Research & Development (NL ONLY)
- Finance
- Digital & Analytics (NL ONLY)

There are two start dates for the traineeships in the Netherlands: March 1 and September 1. For Belgium, we only start September 1. Visit our website for more information about the ULFP or to register Unilever.nl/carriere-banen

We are looking for enterprising academics who take initiatives and seize opportunities, who do not shy away from a challenge. Management trainees who are goal-oriented and who want to unleash their ingenuity on our company. The question to ask: is Unilever right for you? Are you up for the challenge? We select on a personality profile and not on a specific study background. This means that you are welcome to apply with any university background.

For our future leaders program in the Benelux, you need to have a valid working permit for the Benelux at the start of the program. A so-called search year visa is accepted.

Because we are looking for future leaders, our selection process is focused on discovering your potential. We therefore select mainly on personality, more than on your knowledge and skills.
Our digital selection procedure consists of four steps: you start with an online application, followed by a profile assessment through couple of online games that look at different elements of cognitive, emotional and social traits. Then lastly, a digital on-demand interview and lastly, an assessment day in our Discovery Centre. You can only apply for the UFLP one time per year and your motivation for the position is important, so make sure you know which role you want to apply for beforehand.
