UNILEVER PLC
UNILEVER PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 00041424, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 21 June 1894 and lists its registered address as Merseyside, United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for UNILEVER PLC, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 15 September 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for UNILEVER PLC, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.
The largest of these is iShares Trust-iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF, holding 5.6% — the largest recorded stake — followed by T. ROWE PRICE Intl Fd.S, INC.-T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fd. at 2.8%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 17 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
| Shareholder | Type | Holding | Source Document |

Officers
5
The Director of UNILEVER PLC on record is Alan Butler; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Companies House.
The register reports 79 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at UNILEVER PLC sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
UNILEVER PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 129 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 52 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 129 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Israel, Japan, and 46 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 21 of the 129 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
