Quick Glance: Unilever to Split Ice Cream Business, 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.
