In a recent board meeting on October 23, 2024, HUL’s Board of Directors decided to separate its Ice Cream segment, following an Independent Committee’s recommendations. This strategic shift allows HUL to focus on its core sectors like Beauty, Foods, Health, and Wellbeing while offering the Ice Cream business more agility to thrive independently. The final separation approach will be decided by year-end to maximize shareholder value.

HUL operates across Home Care, Beauty & Personal Care, and Foods & Refreshment sectors in the FMCG space.
