About

Unilever is a leading consumer goods company, headquartered in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. In 2023 the company launched a new packaging standard featuring accessible QR codes that can be scanned using existing smartphone apps. These codes lead to a digital platform that delivers relevant information about products, allergies, and usage in accessible formats such as audio, large text, or screen reader compatible texts. By mid-2025 the system was being used by 58 Unilever-brands in 25 markets, with further expansion ongoing.
