HSE could learn from corporate giant with similar staff numbers

UNILEVER is one of the largest companies of its kind in the world and it has a significant impact on the lives of everyone of us.

Every time you buy a Magnum ice cream or a jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise, you’re supporting Unilever’s bottom line. Every time you wash your hair in Dove shampoo or pour Domestos down the toilet, you’re keeping someone in employment in Unilever. Some of the best known Irish brands – Lyons Tea, HB ice cream – belong to Unilever.

The company describes itself as a world leader in food, home and personal care products, and most of its brands occupy what is called market leadership. And they lead the market in most of the countries of the world.
