Our Impact

Our Health Inclusivity and Sustainability Strategy

Haleon advances better everyday health with humanity through its Health Inclusivity and Sustainability strategy. By improving health inclusivity and increasing access to better everyday health, building a resilient value chain and upholding robust ethical standards, Haleon aims to reach one billion more consumers by 2030 while delivering long term value for shareholders.

Health inclusivity is central to our strategy and where we believe we can make the most impact.

By building health literacy, increasing access to everyday health products and tackling bias and prejudice, we can help millions of people take more control of their everyday health.

Beyond individual health barriers, environmental changes are a significant threat to human health. We recognise that Haleon’s long-term success is dependent on the health of the people, natural world, and shared resources we all rely on. Because better everyday health is only possible when the planet we share, and society we live in, are healthy too. That is why we are focused on reducing our environmental footprint and operating with enduring resilience across our value chain by cutting carbon emissions, making our packaging more sustainable, managing natural resources more responsibly and supporting our people and partners.

From embedding robust quality and safety principles and protecting human rights, to promoting strong environmental and social standards across our value chain. These principles guide our actions and safeguard the trust that underpins our brands.

Key Achievements

  • For Health Inclusivity

    In our 2025 reporting period (1 Dec 2024 to 30 Nov 2025), we empowered more than 74 million people to be more included in opportunities for better everyday health, surpassing the goal we set in 2022. These include:

    • Over 52 million* people via the Haleon Health Partner portal. The portal grew to 39 markets and supported over 52 million* individuals through health professionals who engaged with its resources1.
    • Project Amplify in India has empowered more than 600,000 people to improve their oral health since launch in 2023.
    • The Ageism Off. Life On. campaign expanded its reach in 2025, supporting over 400,000 older adults to challenge age-related stigma and improve everyday health1.

  • With Enduring Resilience (Environment and Our people and partners)

    • In 20252, we achieved a 55%* net reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions vs 2020 and we have maintained 100% renewable electricity in our operations since 2022.
    • In 2025, we achieved a 13% reduction in our Scope 3 carbon emissions (source to sale) vs our 2022 baseline3.
    • We have met our 2025 goal to develop solutions for all product packaging to be recycle-ready where safety, quality and regulations permit, reaching 80%4* across our product portfolio in this reporting period. This aligns with our previously disclosed expectation that we could make 80-85% of our packaging recycle-ready by the end of 2025, with the remainder not yet able to be recycle-ready due to safety, quality or regulatory constraints.
    • In 2025, our estimated virgin petroleum-based plastic footprint was -9%* compared to our 2022 baseline year at the 30 June reporting point and we have met our goal to reduce virgin plastic use by 10% by the end of the 2025 calendar year4,5. Our transition to a single, lightweight mouthwash bottle design in Europe further reduced plastic use and enabled most bottles to become recycle‑ready and made from recycled and bio‑based plastics.
    • All our 24 manufacturing sites are now certified to the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard strengthening responsible water management across our global operations6.
    • We continued to advance inclusion across our workforce, with 46.3% women in leadership roles, supporting our path toward gender parity by 20307.

  • Upholding Robust Ethical Standards

    • In 2025, we continued to build on our 2024 achievements, setting ambitious goals and embedding a culture of care, vigilance, and innovation throughout our organisation. We set a stretch target of <0.15 for our Reportable Injury and Illness Rate (RIIR), a reduction of greater than 6% on the previous year’s target.
    • We achieved 100% satisfactory health authority inspections across our manufacturing sites in 2025, reflecting strong quality and compliance performance.

Key Collaborations

1. 2025 reporting period is 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025.

2. 2025 reporting period is Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) are 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025. The baseline is 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020.

3. Reporting period = 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. 2022 baseline year = calendar year. Our estimated Scope 3 source to sale carbon emissions target spans all carbon emission categories from source to sale (excluding GHG protocol categories 6, 7, 10-15). It covers mandatory Scope 3 upstream and downstream emissions. It excludes indirect consumer use-phase emissions, such as emissions associated with water used with our products.

4. 2025 reporting period is 1 July (prior year) to 30 June (reporting year). 2022 baseline year = calendar year. Scope of our estimated packaging footprint includes product packaging and some devices, including toothbrushes.

5. Based on actual results as of 30 September 2025, we have surpassed the target of -10% by end of 2025 and have therefore achieved our 2025 interim goal.

6. Haleon has 25 manufacturing sites. The increase from 24 sites last year is due to the Company now treating its two sites in Suzhou, China, as separate sites for operational purposes. 24 of our 25 sites are included in our water and waste goals. Maidenhead is excluded as it ceased manufacturing operations this year. 

7. Data reported as at 31 December each year, on the basis of an average as at the end of each quarter. Gender parity is defined as between 48-52%. Since 2025, this metric does not include the US and Puerto Rico. Percentage indicates the percentage of female permanent employees.

*KPMG LLP has issued independent limited assurance over the selected data indicated, using assurance standards ISAE(UK) 3000 and ISAE 3410. Haleon’s reporting criteria are available via the ESG Reporting Hub.
