NEWS

The Trustees have agreed in principle to the changes being made to the pension fund as part of the Company’s new reward and benefits structure. We’ll be in touch in the next few weeks with more information about the changes and what they mean for you.

ABOUT THE TRUSTEES

There are 11 Trustees who are responsible for managing the Fund. Learn more about what we do.

We’ve recently welcomed two new active member Trustees to the Board. Read the election results.

PENSION TAX ALLOWANCES

There are two pension tax allowances. One applies to the pensions you build up in a year. The other applies to the pensions you build up over your lifetime. If you exceed one or both of them, you might have to pay a pensions tax charge. Read about the tax allowances.

COVID-19 means it might take us longer than usual to help you

You can still get in touch by email, phone or letter. But, to help keep our teams safe, we might have to work with fewer people or from a different place. If you call, you might be asked to leave a message so we can call you back. We’ll deal with urgent queries first. It might take us longer than usual, but we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

We’ll carry on updating this information as the situation changes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The aim of this website is to outline the benefits available from the Fund. It does not go into as much detail as the legal document governing the Unilever UK Pension Fund – its 'trust deed and rules'. If there are any differences between the trust deed and rules from time to time in force and this website, the trust deed and rules will apply. Some members’ benefits and options may be subject to certain special arrangements, which are not described on this website. Please check with the Unilever Pensions Team if any special arrangements apply to you.

This website does not give any rights to particular levels of contributions or benefits. Unilever reserves the right to end your employer’s participation in any section of the Fund and, with the Trustees’ agreement, to make changes to the Fund. Please read the legal information for more details.
