Unilever Ghana PLC recorded a profit of GH₵94 million in 2025, up from GH₵58 million in 2024, while its cash position improved significantly to GH₵210 million from GH₵97 million over the same period.
The company announced the performance at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Accra on Friday, where shareholders, the Board of Directors and management reviewed the company’s operations and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Managing Director Christopher Wulff-Caesar reported broad-based growth across the company’s portfolio, with the Personal Care category recording an underlying sales growth of 12.1 percent, driven mainly by Oral Care and Skin Cleansing products.
According to him, the Beauty and Well-being category also delivered a strong performance, with Vaseline recording growth of 53.4 percent during the year.
Home Care returned to growth with a 5.0 percent increase, supported by products such as Comfort and Omo Auto, while the Nutrition category grew by 2.2 percent.
The company said it would continue to focus on volume-led growth within the Nutrition category in 2026.
Speaking at the AGM, Board Chairman Charles Nimako noted that despite a challenging global economic environment marked by slowing growth, inflationary pressures, geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties, the country’s economy showed resilience in 2025.
He pointed to stronger gross domestic product growth, easing inflation, appreciation of the local currency and improved investor confidence as factors that created a more favourable business environment.
The company also highlighted progress made under its sustainability agenda through the Growth Action Plan.
The initiatives focused on plastics management, environmental protection and livelihoods, including plastic waste collection programmes, community training activities and livelihood support interventions implemented across the country.
As part of governance updates announced at the AGM, Unilever Ghana appointed six new directors to its board, including a new Board Chair, following the completion of tenure by outgoing board members.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining strong corporate governance practices and effective oversight of the company.
Mr. Nimako thanked shareholders for their continued confidence in the company and reiterated the board’s commitment to delivering sustainable growth, operational efficiency and long-term value for investors.
Mr. Wulff-Caesar also reaffirmed management’s commitment to driving consistent, competitive, profitable and sustainable growth.
He said the company’s future growth strategy would continue to focus on strengthening its Power Brands across key categories, improving its Route to Market strategy and advancing innovation initiatives.
He expressed appreciation to shareholders for their continued support and participation in the AGM.
