In the 1880s, our founder, William Lever, launched Sunlight soap – one of the world’s first packaged and branded grocery products. A few years later he introduced the first health soap, Lifebuoy, which played an important role in helping to combat poor hygiene and disease in Victorian Britain.

William Lever was a businessman with a social mission. His vision was 'to make cleanliness commonplace’ and he believed it was possible to do well as a business by meeting the everyday needs of the many in society not the few.

His values and this philosophy continue to drive our business today. Our vision today is little changed: We work to create a better future every day. We help people to feel good, look good and get more out of life with brands that are good for them and good for others.

Throughout our long history we've created products that help people improve their lives, whether that means cutting the time spent on household chores, improving nutrition, making it easier to prepare and cook food, or taking care of their clothes, homes and families.
