**Who we are?**

On any given day, 2.5 billion people globally use Unilever products to feel good, look good and get more out of life. Many of our brands are well-known, household staples and old-time favourites including Dove, Rexona, Lynx, Vaseline, OMO/Persil, Surf, TRESemmé, Continental, Ben & Jerry’s and Streets.

We have a long tradition of being a progressive, responsible business. It goes back to the days of our founder William Lever, who launched the world’s first purposeful brand, Sunlight Soap more than 100 years ago, and it’s at the heart of how we run our company today. In 2022 Unilever Australia & New Zealand became a Certified B Corporation (B Corp), joining a growing network of organisations committed to galvanising a stronger, more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy for all.

Unilever North Rocks Supply Chain Sourcing Unit was established in late 1960s and is dedicated to the production of Home & Personal Care products for the local Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) markets as well as Aerosols for the Asia export market. We produce leading household brands including Rexona, Impulse, Omo, Surf, Dove & Tresemme. The Sourcing Unit is continually transforming to remain competitive in the market and has recently built a new Laundry Capsules Factory in addition to the Liquids and Aerosols factories.
