Most Admired Company of 2010:

UK’s Management Today names Unilever

Unilever has been named the Most Admired Company of 2010, in a poll from leading UK business magazine Management Today.

Despite scoring a top six place in the titles annual table for the past nine years, this is the first time Unilever has won the accolade drawing praise for its sustainability-led business model and commitment to growth.

Its great to see a firm like Unilever, which has been a strong performer in the awards for so long, have its pedigree as a worthy winner properly recognized this time, said Management Today Editor Matthew Gwyther. By taking a consistent approach, Unilever has built up a bedrock of respect in the wider business community. That kind of strength in depth takes a long time to cultivate, but pays dividends year after year.

The Most Admired Company poll is based on the results of an independent peer review survey of business representatives, and is considered a barometer of confidence in UK-based organizations.

Unilever CEO Paul Polman said, “The changes we are making at Unilever, driven by our new vision and the turbo-charging of The Compass, are increasingly being recognized by the world outside, providing further evidence that we are on the right track and that our transformation to a more competitive company is starting to bear fruit. We are not only now fit to compete, but increasingly fit to win. Expectations are set higher with this award so it is vital that we deliver.”

Other firms scoring well in the 2010 table include retailer John Lewis Partnership, broadcaster BSkyB and hospitality company Whitbread. Meanwhile the damage to oil company BPs reputation has seen it plummet down the league from seventh place last year to number 113.

Unilever also won a separate award from the magazine in the Ability to Attract, Retain and Develop Top Talent category. Outgoing Tesco CEO Sir Terry Leahy was named Most Admired Leader.
