Leading FMCG firm Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) on Thursday announced the separation of the position of chairman of the Board and the CEO & managing director, and has appointed Nitin Paranjpe as a non-executive chairman of the company.

Paranjpe, currently working as the chief operating officer of Unilever, the parent of HUL, would take over as the non-executive chairman from March 31, 2022.

Sanjiv Mehta will continue as the CEO & MD of the company, HUL said.

This is “in consonance with emerging, progressive governance trends,” according to HUL, which owns popular brands, including RIN, Surf Excel, Lux, Lakmé and Dove. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
