About Fccr

Unilever as a group is a global organisation and aims to leverage its size for earning economies of scale and for that purpose incurs centralised costs. These costs are incurred for the benefit of the business internationally. This includes costs that the group incurs centrally for brand development and research. The Group also provides support and guidance centrally for driving functional excellence in the business delivery functions of marketing, customer development and supply chain and in functional support functions of finance, information technology, human resources and workplace services. The benefits arising from these activities are enjoyed by each of the operating companies throughout the Group. Hence these costs are pooled centrally into the parent and holding entities (“P&H”)). As the economic benefits relating to the costs are derived by the operating companies, the P&H entities needs to recover a fair share of these costs from each of the operating companies. For this purpose, the Group has Financial Central Cost Recovery (‘FCCR’) processes in place, which covers tracking of the costs incurred on all global initiatives and allocates them to the various operating companies.
