Unilever will pay the costs and provide legal support to trans employees who want to change their name on documents such as RG, CPF and birth certificate.
Through a 24-hour program, employees who want to make the correction will have the assistance of professionals such as psychologists, lawyers, financial analysts and social workers. The process will run confidentially and free of charge, according to the company.
Affirmative action begins in July and will become company policy from August.
Trans employees who work in any sector of the company in Brazil, from factories to offices, and who have an indefinite-term contract with Unilever for at least three months will be able to participate.
