Health drives us. Science unites us.

Our science is here to make a meaningful difference.

To the everyday health of hundreds of millions of people.

And it starts with people.

One of the first things I remember when I joined this company 3 years ago was the warmth, care and humility of the scientists in my team. Many started their careers on the front-line of healthcare whether that’s as dentists, pharmacists, ophthalmologists, surgeons or nutritionists (to name a few). I often pose the question ‘Why Haleon?’ to my team. The common answer is ‘Because I believe I can make a bigger impact on people’s quality of life globally’.

Our science can only make a meaningful difference if we understand the core of why health and quality of life matters to people.

Trust is personal.

We’re all consumers. We hanker to trust in the health choices we make. Did you know that 8 in 10 people want to take care of their health, but only 2 in 10 are confident to do so? [1]

Our scientists connect with over 10,000 people a year. People like you. It’s fundamental to what we do. We want to get to the nub of every conversation.

Listen to every last word.

Submerse ourselves in your day to day.

Get lost in your world.  

Your environment.

Your life-changing moments.

Your experiences.

It is these moments that we put the science to one side and listen.

Trusted science is our cornerstone.

Our science puts your safety first. It is highly innovative and externally recognised for being so. We have direct relationships with more than 3 million health professionals and work with key external partners, such as the World Dental Federation, the International Association for the Study of Pain and the International Pharmaceutical Federation. Nothing drives us more than being a partner of choice to deliver trusted science that helps empower you to make confident health choices.

It’s our job to identify, assess, and enable robust scientific evidence to build trust and drive positive action.  That positive action could be as simple as choosing a cold and flu remedy at the pharmacy. It could be making sure you overcome the fear of visiting your dentist. Or remembering to look at the latest pollen tracker.  

Innovating beyond the molecule.

From the chemistry in our Sensodyne toothpastes to the molecules in our Otrivine nasal sprays. – we’ve been innovating for decades. We’ve even passed a NASA space stability test[2] along the way. Our commitment to using high quality and rigorously researched ingredients is in our DNA.

But how we innovate in the consumer health sector will stretch beyond what we know today. Health means different things to different people.  Billions of people are suffering in silence. For example, a third of people globally are in pain every day and 1 in 5 chronic sufferers are under 30 years old[3]. The life impact of pain to a fresh-faced university student is completely different to a first-time grandma. And we know from you that the real cost of pain, is happiness.

 That’s why we’ve invested in a suite of proprietary assets to generate deep human understanding to support innovation, enhance our engagement with experts and to provide education to people like you. We have cutting-edge centres for shopper research. We’ve launched a RE/Wire Health Studio, collaborating with startups to build the next wave of solutions. These a just a few ways we’re creating the springboard for innovation of the future.

Innovation inclusive of everyone.

We’re in the business of doing the right thing – for people and the environment. By 2025, we intend to help 50 million people per year gain access to opportunities for better everyday health.  And it’s this notion that also is the driving force for our science. We are committed to developing innovations that are responsibly designed. Innovations that are meaningful and impactful in order to make everyday health more accessible and inclusive. It’s our job to decode science and help people like you, access trusted information. We’re committed to developing highly effective solutions, when and where you need them. Whether that’s on our packaging, through a healthcare professional or online.  

We won’t stop going beyond to develop innovation that is relevant and backed by the integrity of our scientific research.

Because at the very heart, the way we do science helps us to help you to enjoy a better quality of life.

Today.

Tomorrow.

And for decades to come.
