While there are positive steps being taken towards developing waste management solutions, a lot more needs to be done when it comes to collective citizen action. Hindustan Unilever Ltd (<keyword id="44863" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="hul" source="Orion">HUL</keyword>) has launched a campaign that looks to inspire individuals to segregate household waste at source and ensure that waste stays out of the environment and in the circular economy. The ‘Bin Boy’ campaign through its child protagonist ‘Appu,’ aims to drive behaviour change among citizens and urge them to segregate waste at homes and residential societies. Through an engaging narrative and thought-provoking dialogue, the campaign draws attention to the seriousness of mixed waste disposal and need for immediate action. <div type="Youtube" id="uMd8pHjab-M" title="Bin Boy" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uMd8pHjab-M/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Speaking on the campaign <keyword id="169120" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sanjiv-mehta" source="Orion">Sanjiv Mehta</keyword>, Chairman and Managing Director, Hindustan Unilever Ltd says, "The need for urgent action on the issue of waste segregation has never been greater. At HUL, we recognize our role in this context and have been working with leading agencies in the space and the Government to drive what is a simple, positive action that each of us could do. We work towards empowering communities to reach the goal of swachhata and a zero-waste circular economy. Children are the strongest advocates of change in society and are also the strongest drivers. We believe that our latest campaign with a child protagonist will inspire and unite citizens to create a waste-free, greener tomorrow." The film shows Appu - protesting in a unique way. He is seen sitting on an unsorted heap of waste in a household dustbin refusing to get out. This action surprises Appu’s parents, neighbours, and the community at large. After repeated questioning, Appu says – if you do not sort your waste into wet and dry at home, you are putting my future into the trash bin. This comment startles everyone around and inspires Appu’s parents to separate their waste.

HUL makes a strong point about the importance of waste segregation with its latest campaign #BinBoy

The campaign wants to inspire its audience to keep their inner child alive and give into playful impulses, age no-bar.</li></ul>Surf excel is back with a Holi campaign bolstering its unique 'Daag Achhe Hain' brand proposition. <div type="Youtube" id="Y1MdAxeRgz8" title="Surf excel Holi 2022 | Jo rang bachpan lautaye, woh #RangAchheHain" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Y1MdAxeRgz8/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Growing older comes with a myriad of responsibilities. It also comes with pre-conceived notions of ‘acting your age’. What you should or should not be doing, in order to fit into the propriety structures that we have been conditioned towards. But we occasionally find ourselves spontaneously reminded of the days of climbing trees, splashing in rain puddles, or hiding colours in our pockets to stealthily include someone into our Holi celebrations. It is indeed the moments of letting the inner child out in spontaneous abandon that make our lives fuller. With the festival of colours fast approaching, The new 360 campaign shows a heart-warming gesture by a little girl to include her aunt in the buoyant celebration amongst children. The spirited child protagonist is seen playing colours with her friends when she notices her aunt setting the table of colours and sweets, and enjoying their game, subconsciously wanting to join in. When the little girls insists that her aunt join them, the aunt moves away, saying it’s not her age to play like them. As the girl watches her aunt consciously throw away the colours she had unconsciously picked up in her palms, she covers herself with the colours and runs to her aunt for a hug. This action imprints the aunt’s clothes with a colourful silhouette of the child. Pointing towards the imprint, the girl suggests that this child could play with them. The heart-warming message “Jo rang bachpan lautaye, woh rang achhe hain” makes us examine the boundaries that keep us away from finding the joy of keeping our childhood alive. Commenting on the launch of the campaign, <keyword id="7230683" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prabha-Narasimhan" source="Orion">Prabha Narasimhan</keyword>, Executive Director, Home Care, <keyword id="87377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hindustan-unilever-ltd" source="Orion">Hindustan Unilever Ltd</keyword>, said, “This year we wanted to steer our ‘Daag Achhe Hain’ towards bringing the inner child within each of us to life, and experiencing the joy of child-like abandon. With our latest TVC campaign we aim to strike an emotional chord in a slice-of-life context that appeals to every adult. While the context in the film is that of Holi, the message is an all-pervasive one. We hope our consumers connect with it as much as we did while conceptualising it.”

<ul><li>Holi's much-awaited campaign is here. </li><li>Addressing today’s emotional need of connecting with our loved ones, Surf Excel's campaign narrates a heart-warming story of an emotional bond created using Holi colours. </li></ul>The pandemic had isolated all sections of the society last year. It struck at the very heart of what makes us human – our social and emotional connection with one another. Even though lives seem to be going back to normal slowly, certain vulnerable segments of the society like elderly and senior citizens continue to remain socially distant for safety. And while we all want to visit our loved ones, this has been hard given the risks associated with travelling and socializing. For our elders, this also means that they have been deprived of the emotional and social warmth of being close to their families for a long time. Surf Excel’s latest Holi campaign takes forward its unique 'Daag Achhe Hain' brand proposition and continues to use colours as a medium of ‘togetherness’. This year, it shows how the colours of Holi can help bridge emotional distances and bring hearts closer, despite physical distancing. <div type="Youtube" id="MocKmftqNI8" title="Surf excel Holi 2021 | Jo dilon ko paas laayein, woh #RangAchheHain" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MocKmftqNI8/mqdefault.jpg"></div>Surf Excel’s latest campaign #RangAchheHain shows a heart-warming gesture by an innocent boy who wishes to include his friend Rancho, an elderly neighbor, in the Holi celebrations. On realizing that Rancho cannot be included in the festivities like everyone else, he decides to have his own ingenious yet responsible celebration with Rancho. The TVC builds the emotional quotient as the boy says, ‘Mere haath nahi pahunchenge, isliye rang pahuncha diye." The ingenuity of the boy and his empathy towards Rancho brings alive the true spirit of Holi and demonstrates that physical distance should not deter emotional connections, a fact vividly showcased in the ad. Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Prabha Narasimhan, Executive Director &amp; VP – Home Care , South Asia, <keyword id="87377" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hindustan-Unilever-Ltd">Hindustan Unilever Ltd</keyword>, said, “Holi is one of the biggest and most loved festivals in our country and we have been able to create a strong emotional connect with our audiences through our Holi campaigns in the last two years. This year is a bit different as we are all still reeling from the effects of the pandemic, which has created both physical and emotional distances. Addressing the emotional needs of the vulnerable segment of population, the ad shows how a young boy endeavors to include the elderly in the festive fervor through a simple yet creative way of making colors reach where hands cannot. It is a natural extension of our brand philosophy of ‘Daag achhe hain’, in which we have always shown children getting dirty while doing good deeds &amp; demonstrating good values. We do hope that people are inspired to find their own unique ways to connect with their families this festive season." Talking about the conceptualization of the campaign, <keyword id="92519" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Carlos-Pereira">Carlos Pereira</keyword>, Creative Director, said, “The campaign continues to build on the theme of how “Holi colours can bring people together”. But this year, given the new rules of engagement due to the pandemic, it was important to also showcase how Holi can be celebrated in a responsible manner. The campaign reflects on how colours can be a medium for fostering emotional togetherness, even though there may be physical distance between us.” The campaign will be live from 1st March across TV, digital &amp; outdoor media.This Holi don’t forget to spread cheer around because ‘Jo dilon ko paas laaye, woh rang achhe hain’!

The all-stock deal, which is valued at ₹317 billion ($4.5 billion), will see HUL take over GSK’s consumer healthcare operations and merge them with itself. Its offer to exchange 4.39 of its shares for every one share in GSK’s subsidiary reportedly beat out all-cash <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Companies/tlyjL7ec2HRAyB5r0vjRCK/Nestle-Unilever-Coke-make-bids-in-4-billionplus-GSK-Indi.html">bids</a> from the likes of Nestle, ITC and Coca Cola. The businesses being divested, which include health drinks Horlicks, Maltova and Boost, brought in a total of £406 million (₹36.4 billion) in sales in the nine months ended September 2018. Interestingly, the 140-year old Horlicks will be owned by HUL’s parent company, Unilever, and it will have to pay royalties on sales. The acquisition also includes GSK’s 82% holding in its Bangladesh unit as well as branding rights to products in various other markets. HUL will also distribute GSK’s over-the-counter and oral healthcare products like <keyword id="135142" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="crocin">Crocin</keyword> and Sensodyne for a period of five years as part of a preliminary move into the pharmaceuticals space. In exchange, GSK will get a 5.7% stake in HUL, which is valued at ₹230 billion, and hence, become the second-largest shareholder in the company. However, after the deal is completed at the end of 2019, by which time HUL will be India’s largest publicly-listed food and refreshments company, GSK plans <a href="https://www.gsk.com/en-gb/media/press-releases/gsk-to-divest-horlicks-and-other-consumer-healthcare-nutrition-products-to-unilever/">to sell its stake </a>in HUL in what is expected to be a very profitable cash-out. The deal is likely to shake up India’s consumer food goods sector and add pressure on HUL’s rivals in the FMCG space as it upgrades GSK’s brands and uses its widespread distribution network of nearly eight million outlets to maximise sales, especially in rural areas. The company already owns a number of prominent brands like Lipton, Kissan, Knorr and Magnum.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd on Wednesday reported a 2.33% decline in consolidated net profit at ₹2,595 crore for the second quarter ended in September 2024, impacted by moderation in demand from the urban market. The company had logged a net profit of ₹2,657 crore in the July-September quarter a year ago, HUL said in a regulatory filing. However, revenue from product sales was up 2.36% at ₹15,703 crore in the September quarter, from ₹15,340 crore in the year-ago period, HUL which owns power brands such as Surf, Rin, Lux, Pond's, Lifebuoy, Lakme, Brooke Bond, Lipton and Horlicks said. "In the September quarter, <keyword id="21419477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FMCG-demand" source="keywords">FMCG demand</keyword> witnessed moderating growth in urban markets, while rural continued to recover gradually.

HUL reported an underlying sales growth of 2% and underlying volume growth of 3%. Total expenses were at ₹12,581 crore in the September quarter, up 3.03% year-on-year. HUL's total income, which includes other income, was up 2.14% to ₹16,145 crore in the September quarter of FY25. Addressing an earnings call, HUL CFO Ritesh Tiwari said, "Two thirds of our business we do in urban areas, and one-third we do in rural areas … we are seeing growth in the urban market moderating. We are seeing rural growth recovery is gradual … it impacts all the categories that we have." On the outlook, he said, "In the near term, we expect demand trends to be stable with no further acceleration in pace of growth." In this context, Tiwari said, "Our focus remains on driving competitive volume-led growth, while continuing investments behind our brands and strategy priorities … If commodity prices remain where they are, we expect a low single digit price growth in the near-term."
