JOB TITLE Business Integrity Governance Engagement Lead

LOCATION 100VE

JOB PURPOSE
At Unilever, our commitment to "Value with Values" requires ongoing efforts to embed a culture of integrity across our entire operational footprint. This implies significant efforts to prevent, detect, and if necessary, investigate potential concerns relating to our Code of Business Principles and Code Policies (the Code), and to hold individuals accountable where appropriate. Unilever sets similarly high standards in selecting suppliers and business partners.

The Business Integrity Governance Engagement Lead works alongside the Global BI Leader for Governance & Innovation to provide ethics and compliance leadership and support to almost 40 Business Integrity Committees (BIC) around the globe.

Business Integrity Committees (BICs) are integral to Unilever's commitment to maintaining high ethical standards and ensuring compliance with the company's Code of Business Principles and Code Policies. These committees play a crucial role in overseeing and promoting business integrity across the organization. This includes holding individuals accountable for any breaches of the Code. BICs typically comprise senior leaders from various departments. We are currently redesigning the structure of BICs so they operate mostly on a multi-country and Business Group/Units basis.

2. Communicating with BIC members and providing advice on BI governance matters.
3. Training BIC members and preparing training materials.
4. Preparing materials and presentations for BIC meetings.
