Amid all the fear and chaos that the world is currently facing, it's comforting to know that the Coronavirus pandemic has awakened most people's humanity and selflessness.

Conglomerates have been stepping up one by one and responding to the worldwide health crisis in the best way they can. And one of the latest multinational consumer goods company to do so is Unilever.

Unilever pledges 100 million euros worth of soap, sanitizer, bleach, and food as response to the Coronavirus pandemic.

In a video shared by Unilever in their social media accounts, they announced that they will be donating 100 million euros worth of soap, sanitizer, bleach, and food, as their contribution to the global emergency response efforts.

They will also utilize their manufacturing lines to produce sanitizers for hospitals, and conduct hand washing education programs.

Unilever will also be offering 500 million euros of cash flow relief, by providing early payment and extending credit to their most vulnerable suppliers and customers.

And, on top of that, they will also be protecting their employees from market disruption.

This big-hearted move of Unilever aims to protect lives, jobs, and incomes during these uncertain times.
