25 Apr 2024 --- Unilever’s stock rises on the London Stock Exchange after the company posted better sales than expected with the beauty division leading the way and consumers returning to pricier, brand-name products. The earnings results follow a backlash over the FMCG giant’s plans to pull back on environmental and social efforts. Hein Schumacher, CEO of Unilever, says his plan to turn around the company is working: “Unilever delivered improved volume growth in the first quarter. This was driven by our Power Brands, which saw underlying sales growth of 6.1%, with strong performances from Dove, Knorr, Rexona and Sunsilk.”
