10. Skin lotion: Delivering moisture where it’s needed. Moisturisers
help to replenish dry skin. The key ingredient – Glycerine. Unilever
set about developing a moisturiser too for this. The result was
Stratys-3, a combination of three special ingredients. One of which
is Glycerol Quat, a new molecule which closely resembles Glycerol,
but binds four times more water within the cells of the skin’s top
layer.
Clean clothes, less water: HUL was asked if they could improve
Surf Excel so less rinsing is needed, while still getting clothes as
clean as before. We knew we could cut the number of rinses by
adding on a number of anti-foam ingredients commonly used in
detergents. That would make the lather rinse more quickly. This is
how new Surf Excel Quick Wash delivered a good lather at the
washing stage, and reduced the need for rinsing – saving two
buckets of water per wash.
11. Cool ice cream innovations: Less fat, more fruit. The new
ingredient is called ‘ice structuring protein’. This protein allows
us to make ice cream and ice lollies which are lower in fat, sugar
and calories and at the same time include more fruit.
Knorr: a revolution in stock- Knorr is now launching the biggest
innovation in stocks and bouillon for nearly 100 years: a little pot
with an authentic bouillon: Knorr Stock Pot. By interacting
closely with consumers, we realised that the jelly format of Knorr
Stock Pot is very close to home-made bouillon in how it looks
and smells and how you use it.
12. The company has reduced the water usage in manufacturing
operations from 21.5% to 10.1%.Rainwater harvesting has also been
started in more than 50% of the units. HUL has also been working
for more than a decade in the area of water conservation in
locations which face acute water shortage.
HUL started a three-month campaign called "Go Recycle" to
promote plastic recycling among consumers .
HUL also creates financial inclusion. The company joined forces
with the State Bank of India (SBI) to introduce banking services to
people from low-income groups in rural areas.
HUL also renders services to the community, focusing on health &
hygiene education, empowerment of women, and water
management. It is also involved in education and rehabilitation of
underprivileged children, care for the destitute and HIV-positive,
and rural development.
13. HUL has also responded to national calamities, for instance with
relief and rehabilitation after the 2004 tsunami caused devastation
in South India.
The Company is on track to meet the global target, which is to
reformulate the products to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by
15%.
Project Shakti, a unique initiative by the Company to build and
support a network of women entrepreneurs in small villages was
strengthened in 2010–11 with the Shaktimaan initiative, under which
men from Shakti households were given a bicycle to cover a cluster
of villages in their vicinity.
Lifebuoy , a product of HUL took hand washing messages to remote
areas, reaching out to 30million people directly in 2010-11 through
HUL's rural outreach programme.
Project Sunlight is a project where every home has enough water to
drink and to wash, cook and clean and where everybody can enjoy
life today while protecting the planet for future generations.
14. Due to its tremendous contribution towards society and and huge profits, HUL
is one of the top organizations in India.

19. CONCLUSION
As almost all the management principles like Division of
labour , authority & accountability, Discipline, Unity Of
Command , Unity Of Direction have been effectively
applied in the organization and it not only makes bulk
profit every year but also shares it concerns for the society
as we have seen in the CSR of the organization. Hence,
HUL would be a perfect idol for other organizations in
the sense that the needs and welfare of the society can
also be taken care of very effectively even when an
organization is primarily a profit making organization.’
