Controversies:
For a big company like Unilever, it is virtually impossible for it to be involved in no controversies since its founding. Unilever has faced severe backlash for:
- Establishing a price-fixing cartel in Europe for a washing powder. It was fined €104 million in April 2011 by the European Commission for doing so.
- Blackmailing and pressurizing a Sri Lankan editor for not promoting one of its skin-whitening brands.
- Misleading the public and hiding information about the contamination of Salmonella cereal in Israel.
- Being one of the top ten companies spreading plastic-pollution in the world in 2019 by BreakFreeFromPlastic.
- For supporting the Rain Forest Alliance Scheme for its tea-products. The scheme does not offer minimum or guaranteed prices for its producers.
- Causing deforestation in Indonesia and Côte d’Ivoire.
- For child labor and forced labor.
- Polluting the waters in a densely populated area by dumping toxic mercury wastes. This was done by the Indian subsidiary of Unilever.

Everyone should BOYCOTT all of these Unilever products based on their poor choice of liberal associates and political policies that have NO business in consumer products
We respect your opinion. Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Team BrandedGirls
I totally agree. After reading what they produce, we are better informed on what not to buy. We no longer will purchase any product made by this company. Thanks to this article, we are better informed. This company is evil.
Frank I am with you…I will not buy these products ever again. It is a real shame it has come to this but I will defiantly shop other brands that don’t have these policies.
Why is dove foaming hand soap available in Metarie Louisiana. Southeastern grocers has discontinued the product target in the area has none
Hi Robert,
Yes you’re right, it is available in certain areas only.
Best regards,
Team BrandedGirls
A lover of Israel so I will be not only boycotting your products but encouraging others to do the same. Am Israel chai!
Never thought any Ice Cream was worth $5 for a mouth full. Hope you choke on your expensive ice cream. Why would you choose to exploit the true native american’s by only suggesting qiving them a portion of their land back. Why don’t you stay in europe and WAKE UP go drink a BUD LITE. Don’t really use many of your products and now it will be none. So Go Branded Girls if that’s what you call yourself. Bend over for Jerry.
The Unilever stance in Russia, and other ethical global positions leads me to boycott your products
I think it is a good thing that you support employment in the country’s where you produce products. But I think you show a lack of principles by staying in Russia. You are indirectly supporting the Russian government’s aggression. You have turned a blind eye to the Ukrainian plight. I can’t see how you can say you abhor the the war and Russia’s aggression yet take no stance against it by leaving. Many companies have already done that.

I shall, where possible avoid buying Unilever products until the company stops trading in Russia.
