ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Principal Risks
Our business is subject to risks and uncertainties. On the following pages we
have identified the risks that we regard as the most material to Unilever's
business and performance at this time.
Our principal risks include risks that could impact our business in the short
term (i.e. the next two years), medium term (i.e. the next three to ten years)
or over the longer term (i.e. beyond ten years). As part of our process to
review our principal risks, we also consider any additional risks that could
emerge in the future.
Our principal risks have not changed this year. We also reflect on whether we
think the level of risk associated with each of our principal risks is
increasing or decreasing. There are three principal risks where we believe
there is an increased level of risk compared with last year:
· Business transformation: the transformation resulting from the
Compass reorganisation will span the next two years. This is coupled with the
ongoing transformation of our core business processes to create a superior
customer experience.
· Climate change: this risk has intensified during 2022, as actions
to address global warming are not moving at the pace anticipated and there has
been an increase in physical climate risks seen by increased flooding and
droughts together with the ongoing global energy crisis.
· Economic and political instability: heightened risk due to
growing geopolitical tensions and supply chain pressures, including the impact
of the Russia-Ukraine war. Further, 2022 has seen unprecedented levels of
inflation and a possible recession impeding growth and delivery of shareholder
value.
Biodiversity loss has the characteristics of an emerging risk. A loss of
forests and soil due to potential physical and regulatory risks could make
future harvests more difficult and expensive in the long term (see pages 45
and 48). Another emerging risk is the potential failure to keep pace with
advancements such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and augmented
reality which are predicted to become critical in understanding consumer
preferences in the future.
We set out below certain mitigating actions that we believe help us to manage
our principal risks. However, we may not be successful in deploying some or
all of these mitigating actions. If the circumstances in these risks occur or
are not successfully mitigated, our cash flow, operating results, financial
position, business and reputation could be materially adversely affected. In
addition, risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary from
those described, which may include forward-looking statements, or could impact
on our ability to meet our targets or be detrimental to our profitability or
reputation.
