This means Business Partners will develop human rights due diligence processes that include: avoiding directly or indirectly causing negative human rights impacts; providing access to grievance mechanisms; and, providing remedies where it is proven that a business has caused or contributed to adverse impacts.

Reckitt expects that natural raw materials (NRMs) Business Partners use in Reckitt products and product packaging are, where possible, traceable back to production origins and are monitored regularly.

Reckitt’s greatest focus is on priority NRMs, where supply chain risk is greatest: latex; dairy; natural fragrances; palm oil (and other tropical oils); and timber.

This means Reckitt Business Partners collaborate with their upstream suppliers to ensure – and demonstrate – that the NRMs they source, and use are produced responsibly, with respect for protection of the environment and the needs of local communities.

For further details, see Reckitt’s Natural Raw Materials (NRMs) Sourcing Standard.

Reckitt expects Business Partners to ensure the quality of products that our consumers trust; this means that the ingredients and packaging are safe for people and the environment. We expect our Business Partners to provide Reckitt with comprehensive, clear, and honest ingredient information. We also expect our partners to help improve the green chemistry credentials of product innovation; reducing the water and carbon impacts of products and responsible plastic use.

This means that to safeguard consumers and workers, Business Partners manufacturing Reckitt products are expected to:

• provide details on raw materials and comply with the Master Packaging specification;
• comply with Reckitt’s Restricted Substances List (RSL);
• incorporate green and sustainable chemistry principles in the development and manufacture of products; and
• build knowledge and understanding of Reckitt’s product sustainability and stewardship commitments at a level appropriate to their responsibilities.

Reckitt expects Business Partners to exhibit high standards of business conduct in their operations; in relationships with their Business Partners; and with the local communities in which we and our Business Partners operate.

This means Business Partners must have policies and procedures in place to ensure good corporate governance in their business and supply chain; and must be able to demonstrate this readily. This includes maintaining full compliance with the law including anti-bribery, conflicts of interest, gifting and anti-Competition legislation; sound accounting and financial management; strong Board oversight; accurate business records; respect for data protection, and privacy and corporate security.
