Unilever BD employees donate their salary for Eid fundraising


Published : 19 Apr 2023 08:51 PM

The employees of Unilever Bangladesh Limited (UBL), the country’s leading Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company, have voluntarily donated a portion of their salary to support underprivileged families to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr this year. 

The donation drive was part of Unilever’s employee volunteering programme that allows employees to be associated with community development and sustainability projects and live their life purpose. Through the employee salary contribution 230 families will receive essential food items.

During Eid season, many families struggle to buy necessary food products and miss out on the joy of the holy occasion. 

This year, due to rising inflation, many families are facing additional challenges. To distribute food for the underprivileged families, UBL has partnered with two non-profit organisations, Utsho Bangladesh and Spreeha. UBL employees will also volunteer their time to distribute the products before the Eid day.
