Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Haleon plc (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Haleon”,
“Company”, “we” or “our”) hereby files this Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Rule”) for the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Please refer to Rule 13p-1, Form SD and the 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 for definitions to the terms used in this Report, unless otherwise
defined herein. A copy of this Form SD is also posted to the Company’s website at: www.haleon.com/who-we-are/Governance/codes-policies-and-standards.
The Rule generally provides that a company must file a specialized
disclosure report if it manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which one or more of the following minerals are necessary
to the functionality or production of the company’s products: cassiterite; columbite- tantalite (coltan); and wolframite; their
derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten; and gold (collectively, “3TGs”). These are considered “conflict minerals”
under the Rule regardless of their geographic origin and whether or not they fund armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
or its neighboring countries (the “covered countries”).
Haleon is a world-leading consumer health company that researches and
develops a broad range of innovative products in five global market categories: Oral Health; Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements; Pain
Relief; Respiratory Health; and Digestive Health and Other. Haleon obtains (i) materials from suppliers for manufacturing purposes (“suppliers”)
and (ii) finished products from contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for sales and distribution by Haleon.
Pursuant to the Rule, we conducted in good faith a technical review
of Haleon’s products and surveyed our suppliers and CMOs for the calendar year 2022 to determine whether 3TGs were present in our
products. Based on this survey, we identified (i) one supplier that supplied materials containing 3TGs to Haleon (the “Covered Supplier”)
and (ii) five CMOs that supplied products containing 3TGs to Haleon (the “Covered CMOs”), where such 3TGs were necessary to
the functionality or production of such materials or products.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
For those products that did contain 3TGs, we conducted in good faith
a reasonable country of origin inquiry that Haleon believes was reasonably designed to determine whether any 3TG necessary to the functionality
or production of these materials or products originated in the covered countries or was not from recycled or scrap sources. For any materials
or products containing 3TGs, Haleon provided a questionnaire (“3TG Supplier Declaration”) to the Covered Supplier and Covered
CMOs to gather information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG in its products during the Reporting Period.
The Covered Supplier provided Haleon with a completed Conflict Minerals
Reporting Template published by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“CMRT”). In its completed CMRT, the Covered Supplier
reported that 100% of its suppliers provided a response to its supply chain survey, and confirmed that (i) 100% of the 3TG contained in
products supplied to Haleon originated from recycled or scrap sources and (ii) none of the smelters in its supply chain sources 3TG from
conflict-affected and high-risk areas. The Covered Supplier also provided its internal conflict minerals policy confirming its commitment
to the responsible sourcing of 3TG and to compliance with the Rule.
Each of the five Covered CMOs provided Haleon with a completed 3TG
Supplier Declaration covering the Reporting Period. In their completed 3TG Supplier Declarations, each of the Covered CMOs confirmed that
the 3TG contained in products supplied to Haleon either (i) did not originate in the covered countries or (ii) are from a recycled or
scrap source. Two of the Covered CMOs also provided Haleon with completed CMRTs confirming that none of the smelters in their supply chains
source the 3TG from the covered countries. Haleon also followed up with each of the remaining Covered CMOs to request further documentation
supporting the confirmations set forth in its 3TG Supplier Declaration, including any declarations it had obtained from its suppliers
regarding the origin of the identified 3TGs and information regarding its internal conflict minerals policies or verification processes.
On the basis of the reasonable country of origin inquiry described
above, Haleon has no reason to believe that any of the 3TGs contained in our products during the Reported Period that are within the scope
of the Rule originated in the covered countries or were not from recycled or scrap sources.
