2021 Winner
This was a challenging category, with a number of very strong projects in the running.
Our winner here was a huge and complex piece of work led by the company secretarial and investor relations teams and its impact stretched from the UK to the Netherlands. Unilever’s unification of its legal structure was, the judges felt, a unique piece of work, something for which there was no pre-existing blueprint, and the sheer scale of it was commendable. Its significance was reflected in the nomination which described very clearly and succinctly the benefits to shareholders, and the links to strategy and governance.
