The Dutch government is lobbying Unilever Plc to list its €17 billion ($18.4 billion) ice-cream unit in the Netherlands, having been encouraged by comments made by the consumer goods giant’s CEO earlier this week.
Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Micky Adriaansens has contacted and will soon meet Unilever’s Chief Executive Officer Hein Schumacher to discuss the company’s listing plans, according to a spokesperson for the ministry.
