This announcement may contain forward-looking
statements, including 'forward-looking statements' within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, of the Unilever Group (the "Group"). All statements other than statements of
historical fact are, or may deemed to be, forward-looking
statements. Words such as 'will', 'aim', 'expects', 'anticipates',
'intends', 'looks', 'believes', 'vision', 'ambition', 'target',
'goal', 'plan', 'potential', 'work towards', 'may', 'milestone',
'objectives', 'outlook', 'probably', 'project', 'risk', 'seek',
'continue', 'projected', 'estimate', 'achieve' or the negative of
these terms, and other similar expressions of future performance or
results and their negatives, are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also
include, but are not limited to, statements and information
regarding the Group's emissions reduction and other
sustainability-related targets and other climate and sustainability
matters (including actions, potential impacts and risks and
opportunities associated therewith). Forward-looking statements can
be made in writing but also may be made verbally by directors,
officers and employees of the Group in connection with this
announcement. These forward-looking statements are based upon
current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated
developments and other factors affecting the Group. They are not
historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future performance or
outcomes. All forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.
Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
Because
these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties, a number of which may be beyond the Group's
control, there are important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions
and expectations of our future performance, taking into account
all information currently available to us. Forward-looking
statements are not predictions of future events. These beliefs,
assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many
possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a
change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity
and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed
in our forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
announcement. Except as required by any applicable law or
regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change
in the Group's expectations with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not
possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us.
In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements.
Further details of potential risks and
uncertainties affecting the Group are described in the Group's
filings with the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam, and the
US Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the Annual
Report on Form 20-F 2024. The Annual Report on Form 20-F 2024
is separately filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
and both the Annual Report on Form 20-F 2024 and the Unilever
