Unilever behaviours

• Focus on what counts:  We ruthlessly prioritise what really, really matters and so do fewer things brilliantly. We set clear and stretching goals and recognise maximum performance impact. It is not about reducing ambition or effort or running after the ‘new and shiny’
• Care deeply:  We care deeply about how consumers experience our brands every day, everywhere; about our people's growth and development, and our impact on the planet. We care about our performance, to a point where it hurts when we don't win. It is not just about being nice or avoiding honest conversations about performance and opportunity.
• Stay 3 steps ahead: We think boldly and creatively to make breakthroughs in performance. We are always curious and confident - anticipating and staying ahead of consumer needs and external trends to be the competition. It is not taking our eye off the ‘here and now’.
• Deliver with excellence: We deliver everything we do with excellence and pace. We take personal ownership and hold each other to account - always finding a way to do what we said we will do. It is not about analysing the inevitable roadblocks, admiring the problem or tolerating mediocrity
