About ekaterra:
With an annual turnover of around €2bn, ekaterra is the world's largest tea
business, with world-class, purpose-driven brands such as Lipton, Pukka, Tazo,
T2 and PG Tips. 'eka' is a word taken from the Sanskrit language which means
unity and one purpose, while 'terra' represents the earth and nature. As
ekaterra we are truly united in one purpose: growing a world of wellbeing
through the regenerative power of plants.
In July 2022, CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII took over the full ownership of
the ekaterra business from its previous owner, Unilever. As a standalone

greater impact on the wider world. With 11 production factories in four
continents and tea growing estates in three countries, ekaterra is a
profitable and growing business whose brands reach hundreds of millions of
consumers. It has a presence in over 100 countries.
Under the ownership of CVC, ekaterra has an exciting future ahead with
opportunities for increased investments in our iconic brands, our people, and
our capabilities. Combining the strength and scale of our brands with a focus
on speed and agility, ekaterra is brewing a corporate start-up mindset that's
opening-up new opportunities for its people to flourish every day.
At ekaterra, we put consumer love at the heart of every decision. We celebrate
diverse thinkers who take personal ownership to connect ideas and make
impactful things happen; people who share our values around humanity and
courage and give their commitment to nurturing the wellbeing of all. In
return, we offer a working culture that gives our people freedom and
flexibility, and where they can grow both personally and professionally to
master their field.
