Dev Bajpai, Executive Director, Legal &amp; Corporate Affairs said, “HUL’s brands are time-tested and have always delivered on the promise they have made to their consumers. He added that in the initial days of the Covid pandemic, HUL, as a responsible advertiser, had communicated to the masses that one could wash their hands with any soap as handwashing with soap is the first line of defense against Coronavirus.”

He has been a proponent of long-term value creation anchored by growth, high-performance anatomy and distinctive capabilities and introduced several transformative business programmes such as 'Dial Up the Big Q' and 'Winning in Many Indias' to make the business more consumer-centric, agile, and resilient. In order to make the business more future-fit, Mehta kickstarted the 'Reimagine HUL' agenda by leveraging data, harnessing latest technologies, and designing business models to redefine how HUL engages with consumers, customers, and the way the business operates. He was also instrumental in HUL undertaking several strategic mergers and acquisitions, including the amalgamation of GSK Consumer Healthcare into HUL, one of the biggest mergers in the history of FMCG in the country. Besides, he actively championed the diversity agenda making HUL an even more inclusive organisation, the company said.

The matter was therefore reheard by the Court today after this was pointed out. Arguments are continuing today (13 Jan) and Sebamed- USV continues to diligently pursue its legal rights,” said Sebamed in a media statement. The Bombay High Court on January 11 passed an injunction order after HUL took Sebamed’s campaign that took a dig at the company’s soap range to the court restraining its campaign from all mediums. In Sebamed’s advertising campaign, it had claimed that its cleansing bar is better than soaps like Dove, Rin, Pears and Lux that its competitor Hindustan Unilever offers. It also compared Lux and Pears with Rin, a detergent bar, implying that HUL’s products are inferior to Sebamed.

The German personal care brand Sebamed claimed that its cleansing bar is better than soaps like Dove, Rin, Pears and Lux that its competitor Hindustan Unilever offers. <div type="image" title="Sebamed Campaign_Filmstars Kee Nahi, Science Kee Suno" msid="80211261" hostid="261"></div> Sebamed also released a video campaign titled ‘Doodh Jaise Safed Soap Ka Sach’ that directly mentioned its competitors and claimed that its cleansing bar has a Ph level of 5.5, lower than that of HUL's Dove (7) and Lux (10). It also intended to urge its customers to make informed choices and listen to science. Creative partner, The Womb said, “The Personal care industry has always been conditioned to follow standard beauty practices in order to make it appealing to the consumers. However, when we came across Sebamed and what the brand wanted to convey to its consumers, we decided to communicate the product truth through our campaign, without any silver coating. Striking the right balance between the bandwagon fallacy and authenticity, the brand is building a connection with its consumers through demonstration-based advertising with an honest approach.” <div type="Youtube" id="7g1MMgktZXE" title="Sebamed India | Doodh Jaise Safed Soap Ka Sach" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7g1MMgktZXE/mqdefault.jpg"></div> <div type="Youtube" id="edjR8TZtEsU" title="Sebamed India | Filmstars Ki Nahi, Science Ki Suno" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/edjR8TZtEsU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Speaking on the campaign, Konark Gaur, India Head of Marketing for Sebamed said, “Consumers today are re-evaluating their brand choices and are looking for brands that deliver on their promise. Sebamed, a brand that stands for honesty &amp; authenticity wants to empower the consumers with the right information so that they can choose the best. We believe that product is always the hero and days of gimmicky advertising are counted.” HUL also responded with a print ad today and is now planning to take this matter to court. <div type="image" title="Dove responds to Sebamed" msid="80211331" hostid="261"></div> The ad war soon caught everyone's attention on Twitter.

Based on that, the recent sell-off has made India’s fast-moving consumer goods giant even more attractive at these levels.

Several HUL products fall under essentials like sanitizers and hand wash in its brands. However, there was a larger downtrend as the weakness in demand became increasingly clear.

<ul><li>Emami has been restrained from using the words 'Glow and Handsome' until further notice from Bombay High Court. </li><li>HUL filed a suit against Emami for violating Trade Marks Act. </li><li>HC says HUL were first to use Glow and Handsome in their advertisements. </li></ul>As per Bombay High Court's latest ruling, FMCG firm Emami will not be able to use the words 'Glow and Handsome' or sell any product under that name as HUL was first to use it in their advertisements, until further notice. HUL filed an application under the Trade Marks Act on Monday, seeking an injunction against Emami from using the trademark '<keyword id="9504348" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="glow-handsome">Glow &amp; Handsome</keyword>.' Emami claimed that it was the proprietor of this trademark, and was going to launch a skincare cream for men under the same name. "Plaintiff (HUL) prime facie appears to be a prior adopter and user of the mark 'Glow &amp; Handsome'," the high court said in its order. HUL recently dropped the word 'Fair' from its skin creams for men and women, and renamed the skin cream for men as 'Glow &amp; Handsome.' HUL had already launched its goods in the market with this trademark while Emami was still at the stage of adopting a process of launching its goods, the court noted. "Its (Emami) application for registration of that mark is also of a subsequent date," the order said. Further, HUL had sufficiently advertised its new brand 'Glow &amp; Handsome', said the court. "At this threshold stage, it is reasonable to see that there is concrete likelihood of confusion and deception in the public, if identical marks are allowed to hold the field for popular and much sold commodities," it said. Until the final disposal of the matter, Emami, which has not yet brought its own goods into the market under 'Glow and Handsome' brand, deserves to be restrained from doing so, said the judge. "Pending final hearing and disposal of the matter, the defendant (Emami) is temporarily restrained from using the alleged mark 'Glow &amp; Handsome' and/or any other mark containing the words in respect of any grooming, skincare and cosmetic products," the court said. It posted the matter for further hearing after two weeks. As per HUL, it launched <keyword id="413087" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fair-Lovely">Fair &amp; Lovely</keyword> face cream in 1975.

The programme reached nearly one lakh children in Maharashtra during its pilot last year and is currently being scaled across the state. Sanjiv Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, HUL, said, “Our vision is one where key stakeholders work together to ensure that plastic stays in the economy and out of the environment. As a responsible company, we are committed to playing our part. We believe that this is a collective responsibility, and each stakeholder needs to play an active role in managing plastic waste to fulfil the vision of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.“ Willem Uijen, Executive Director Supply Chain, HUL, explained, “This is in line with the commitment we have made for a circular economy. We have taken a head start on implementing the proposed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework for plastic waste management. HUL has also developed an ecosystem of partners enabling the collection and safe processing of plastic packaging waste. We have now scaled up our joint efforts to collect more plastic packaging waste than our total plastics footprint, four years ahead of what we previously thought was possible.” Natasha Zarine, CEO of CARPE (Centre for Applied Research and People’s Engagement) said, “With HUL's support we have carried out disposal of large quantities of plastic waste since 2018 in a safe and environment friendly manner. The partnership has also helped positively impact the lives of workers involved in waste collection. HUL has been the pioneer in implementing EPR in India and their support has helped our start-up grow and expand into new territories. This helped us to work towards our national ambition of Swachh Bharat”.

The story so far is that Sebamed had slyly released a TVC that compared the PH levels of its soap with those of HULs’ namely Dove and Lux. The matter went to court and didn’t turn out to be in favour of HUL, and gave enough mileage to SebaMed, the objective thus being achieved. Following this, Brinton Pharmaceuticals had launched a #NoPHightingPlease campaign bringing focus to the point that fighting only on the PH levels is of no use as various other aspects are as much or more important while buying a soap. The #NoPHightingPlease campaign was well received by the consumers. Towards it, Brinton has now launched this digital ad that talks about Brintons’ NEOBAR Moisturizing Soap with a unique and smart twist. While being a seriously quirky yet cute video, it also highlights the features of the soap, the features that really matter at the end of the day, namely its ingredients. The digital ad has been spreading fast on social media especially on Facebook and YouTube. <div type="Youtube" id="7NmXilDJ8gc" title="Brinton’s Neobar moisturising soap Digital ad. #NopHightingPlease" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7NmXilDJ8gc/mqdefault.jpg"></div> “We wanted to bring out the aspects that really matter while deciding on a soap. But we wanted to do this in an interesting and light manner. Our objective isn’t really to bring anyone down but to help the end consumer make a much more informed decision. The digital video has been spreading like wild fire on its own. I guess at the end of the day the consumer does see through marketing gimmicks and what’s for real. We are happy with the response the digital ad has got so far.” said Rahul Darda, Chairman &amp; Managing Director – Brinton Pharmaceuticals.
