UNLY
Unilever PLC
Is UNLY Halal?
Consumer-goods company with a current debt-screen failure; product ingredients and post-Ice-Cream-demerger scope remain qualitative.
What You Should Know
UNLY is a preserved Unilever alias. Unilever's 2025 Form 20-F reports EUR 70,471 million of assets, EUR 28,278 million of financial liabilities, EUR 3,941 million of cash, EUR 1,121 million of other financial assets, EUR 7,346 million of receivables and EUR 50,503 million of continuing turnover. Debt/assets is 40.13%, while liquidity/assets is 7.19% and receivables plus cash/assets is 16.02%. The 2025 continuing figures exclude the demerged Ice Cream business; food and personal-care ingredients, alcohol flavorings, porcine derivatives and animal-testing questions remain qualitative.

Business-activity disclosure
Unilever's continuing business is concentrated in beauty and wellbeing, personal care, home care and foods. Consumer products are generally permissible, but ingredient-level alcohol flavorings, porcine derivatives, animal testing, product claims and financial income require school-specific review.
Limitation: The annual report gives business-group turnover but does not allocate every product's ingredients or prohibited activity into a school-neutral numerator.
Purification
Unilever does not disclose a scholar-approved product-level prohibited-income percentage or universal purification amount.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are EUR millions from Unilever's 2025 Form 20-F; 2025 comparatives and business-group reporting exclude the Ice Cream demerger.
- Total financial liabilities are EUR 28,278 million; cash and cash equivalents are EUR 3,941 million and other financial assets are EUR 1,121 million.
- Trade and other current receivables are EUR 7,346 million and turnover is EUR 50,503 million.
- The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-income numerator for product-level ingredients or incidental finance income.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
