Our Consumer Healthcare business has four global categories: Oral Health, Skin Health, Wellness/ Over-The-Counter (OTC) and Nutrition. Each is supported by a dedicated Business Development team. We are interested in external opportunities at both a global and regional level (especially in Emerging Markets), to help deliver growth for the business by harnessing scientific innovation to support our global and regional brands.

Our areas of interest

We are keen to explore potential collaboration opportunities - on a flexible and creative basis - and reach agreements that make sense for both sides including:

• acquisition of brands or companies
• in-licensing of technology or finished products
• any other types of collaborations that will enable further growth

Key areas of interest for each of our global categories are:

• Oral Health: sensitivity and acid erosion, denture care, gum health, dry mouth and family oral healthcare
• Skin Health: dry skin, clean and blemish free, ageless, sun care and lip care
• Wellness: pain management, respiratory health, gastro-intestinal and smoking reduction and cessation
• Nutrition: family nutrition, functional beverages and adult specialist nutrition

You can find out more about our areas of interest on our Open innovation website.

How we evaluate partnering opportunities

We will review all opportunities against our strategic areas of interest and communicate, openly and promptly, our level of interest to you as a prospective collaborator and/or alliance partner. Aside from commercial factors, we will only market or consider a product for launch if it has a strong scientific foundation.

We are keen to build long-term and enduring relationships throughout the deal process and thereafter.
