About Unilever

It’s the reason we come to work. It’s the reason we’re good to go. It’s the means by which we motivate remarkable execution.

Back in 1883, Daylight Cleanser was sent off in the UK by our organizer – it was spearheading, it was creative and it had a reason: to promote tidiness and bring it reachable for customary individuals. That was supportable living, and still, at the end of the day. We presently have more than 400 brands and we are as yet determined by reason.

We believe that should do all the more really great for our planet and our general public – not simply less damage. We need to follow up on the social and natural issues confronting the world and we need to improve individuals’ lives with our items.

We’ve been trailblazers, pioneers and future-producers for north of 120 years – we intend to keep doing that. What’s more, we intend to reasonably make it happen.

ekaterra recognises Packaging as an important part of the product mix. Not only is Packaging a critical function within ekaterra – the business spend on packaging exceeds €220mn and we partner with the world’s leading packaging suppliers.  Our Sustainability vision cannot be achieved without packaging innovation and technology that will drive growth and, at the same, halve our environmental impact.

Packaging plays a prominent role in these innovation plans, and is a key capability to drive competitive advantage. Not only does it fulfil a very important functional role, to contain, protect and inform, but also as the first “touchpoint” with the consumer, it must engage the consumer, reflecting the brand proposition, and delivering a delightful experience.

The role will be based within the Tea Packaging team and will play a major role in meeting our growth and sustainability ambition. Tea brands include Lipton, PG tips, Brooke Bond, T2, Pukka and Tazo to name a few.
