Unilever has about 52% shareholding in HUL. • HUL is a subsidiary of Unilever, one of the world's leading suppliers of fast moving consumer goods with strong local roots in more than 100 countries across the globe with annual sales of about €44 billion in 2011.

  17. APPENDIX.. .. (SLIDE: Project "SHAKTI") • Shakti is HUL's initiative that combines social responsibility, sustainability, and business strategy. India has more than 6, 30,000 villages, most of these are 'hard to reach' and offer relatively lower business potential. Hence, reaching them through the conventional distribution system was a challenge. • SHAKTI Entrepreneurial Programme helps women in rural India set up small businesses as direct-to-consumer retailers. • The scheme equips women with business skills and a way out of poverty as well as creating a crucial new distribution channel for Unilever products in the large and fast-growing global market of low-spending consumers. • By 2010 the Shakti network aims to have reached 600 million consumers. Shakti started with 17 women in two states. Today, it provides livelihood enhancing opportunities to about 45,000 women in 15 Indian states and provides access to quality products across 100,000+ villages and over 3 million households every month. • The Shakti entrepreneurs are also brand ambassadors for all HUL brands in rural India. Their relationship with consumers is forged by their home-to-home contacts, and goes a long way in building brand loyalty.

  18. APPENDIX.. .. (SLIDE: QUESTION no# 2) • SHAKTI is HUL initiative that combines social responsibility, sustainability, and business strategy. India has more than 6, 30,000 villages, most of these are 'hard to reach' and offer relatively lower business potential. Hence, reaching them through the conventional distribution system is a challenge. • By promoting micro-enterprises, HUL's initiative not only made great business sense, but also had a deep social impact. The business objective was to extend their direct reach into untapped markets and to build brands through local influencers. The social objective is to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for underprivileged rural women. • It was not a CSR initiative as CSR activities are not meant to make profit through the campaign, it only emphasizes on brand image through socially responsible activities. But SHAKTI made a huge contribution in the sales increase and expanding marketshare.

  19. APPENDIX.. .. (SLIDE: QUESTION no# 3) • The major portion of INDIAN population are Rural people. This consumer segment has been untouched for FMCG industry. HUL has taken the first initiative to grasp this segment • Individual Social Recognition refers to the female individuals who are taking advantage from the SHAKTI project.
