Reckitt Benckiser Group plc announced the appointment of Fiona Dawson CBE to the Board as a Non-Executive Director and as Chair Designate to the Remuneration Committee effective 1 June 2024. Fiona is currently a Non-Executive Director of Marks and Spencer Group plc where she is a member of their Nomination and Remuneration Committees, and a Non-Executive Director of LEGO and of Kerry Group plc, where she is also a member of their Remuneration Committee. Fiona brings extensive consumer products experience.

She was previously Global President Food, Drinks and Multisales at Mars Inc. sitting on the Global Leadership Team. Fiona rose from the Graduate Trainee scheme to roles including President of Global Retail and Mars Chocolate UK and European Marketing Vice President where she made an enduring impact in her three decades at the business. Fiona has a strong track record in sustainability, health and wellbeing, particularly women's entrepreneurship and human rights.

In May 2021, Fiona was awarded a CBE for services to women and the economy. She is Chair of the Women's Business Council, President Elect of the Chartered Management Institute and a Trustee with the Social Mobility Foundation. Alan Stewart, Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee, has informed the Company of his intention to retire from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the Company's Annual General Meeting be held on 2 May 2024.

In order to ensure continuity and effective succession, the Nomination Committee, and subsequently the full Board, has agreed that Mary Harris, Designated Non-Executive Director for Engagement with the Company's Workforce and former Chair of the Company's Remuneration Committee,be reappointed as Chair of the Remuneration Committee from the conclusion of this year's AGM until the conclusion of the Company's 2025 AGM. Although Mary has now served nine years as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, the Board unanimously agreed that Mary is uniquely positioned to undertake the role during this interim period due to her extensive knowledge of the business, her in-depth understanding of investor and other stakeholder expectations, and previous experience as a former chair of the remuneration committees of the Company, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield S.E. and J Sainsbury plc. In so doing, this will enable Fiona Dawson to serve a year on the Company's Remuneration Committee before assuming the role of Chair of the Remuneration Committee following the Company's 2025 AGM.

Elane Stock will succeed Mary as the Designated Non-Executive Director for Engagement with the Company's Workforce following the conclusion of this year's AGM.
