ABOUT PROJECT MIRAI
Mirai represents a strategic transformation initiative aimed at harmonising, simplifying, and modernising Unilever’s core business operations through the implementation of a single ERP system, standardised business processes, and the integration of Agentic AI. This transformation will enable autonomous operations and reduce operational complexity.
The core business processes most impacted by Mirai span Finance, Customer Operations, Manufacturing, and Procurement and will be harmonised by adopting a “fit to standard” approach; this mandates the use of best practice ‘out of the box’ process models embedded within the single ERP system.

Additionally, Mirai represents a fundamental unlock to maximise the potential of capacity release and effectiveness from our GBS operations.
