Unilever (NYSE: UL, UN), one of the world�s largest consumer products companies, announced today that on February 6th, during its Annual 2008 Customer Development Meeting, company executives will participate in a variety of community service projects to enhance the health and well-being of the greater Las Vegas area. As part of Unilever�s commitment to corporate responsibility and mission to add vitality to life, it seeks to engage the talents and resources of employees to make positive contributions to the community. �Unilever is excited to be back in Las Vegas working with community partners that help make a difference in the lives of so many,� said Art Drogue, senior vice president, Customer Development, Unilever, U.S. �Each year we�re here, our employees continue to make a measurable difference in the community by supporting local organizations in need.� Under Drogue�s direction and leadership, several community partners will benefit from Unilever�s efforts, which are focused on sustainable development, adding vitality to life, nutrition enhancement, and hygiene for health. Notably, Unilever employees will participate in two separate KaBOOM! playground installations at The Innovations International Charter School and The Nevada Children�s Center with approximately 250 Unilever staff seeing both projects through to their completion. Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas will also benefit from the volunteers� efforts, hosting approximately 100 Unilever employees who will landscape and paint fences at two adjacent homes while the future homeowners watch their dream come to life. Unilever employees will also donate and install computers at four Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the Las Vegas area, which will help the Clubs continue to deliver quality programs for their youth. Outside of Las Vegas proper, approximately 50 Unilever volunteers will construct benches made out of recycled plastic lumber so that observers and program participants may enjoy the lake�s beauty. It is estimated that the Center receives more than 1.1 million visitors annually. �By helping to build lasting infrastructure in the Las Vegas community, we believe that our contribution will leave Las Vegas a bit better than before our arrival,� concluded Drogue.
