And about a thousand other brands Unilever is massive.

Somewhat interesting history as well, lever brothers before the merge bought products from Belgian colonised parts of Africa that used slave labour well into the 20th century and they knew it.

Even had a separate own company so they could use their own slaves and keep it nice and separate from the main company.
