Unilever, the maker of Dove soap and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, said it has reached gender balance across its global management ranks a year ahead of the company’s target.

Half of the Anglo-Dutch company’s 14,000 managers are now female, the company said in a statement Tuesday, up from 38% in 2010. That includes 50% of the finance department, an area where women have historically been underrepresented. About half of Unilever’s board is also female.
