"Now our business model is a long-term one.
It takes longer than three or six months to
get results. So we've stopped doing quarterly
[financial] reporting, we're focusing on
communicating our long-term goals much
more clearly, and we've found our investor
base increasingly understands them - and
indeed, that they want a longer term model
of value creation. And that doesn't have to
involve a compromise in business success.
We've seen a re-rating in the Unilever share
price. We are out-performing the market and
our competitors."
— Unilever CEO Paul Polman
