Quick Glance: Unilever to Split Ice Cream Business, Cut 7,500 Jobs
- Unilever plans to separate its ice cream business, including brands like Ben & Jerry's, and intends to cut 7,500 jobs.
- The restructuring aims to boost growth, involving job cuts to achieve €800 million in cost savings over the next three years.
- Separating the ice cream business will help Unilever focus on four core businesses and avoid controversial political issues related to Ben & Jerry's.
- The targeted cost savings are expected to increase Unilever's profits, allowing the company to reinvest in research, development, and marketing to achieve mid-single digit sales growth.
