Health Inclusivity
Our social impact goal on health inclusivity is to empower millions of people a year to be more included in opportunities for better everyday health, empowering million people a year by 2025.
Health inclusivity is “the process of removing the personal, social, cultural, and political barriers that prevent individuals and communities from experiencing good physical, mental and social health and a life fully realised.”
We want to help as many people as possible to enjoy better everyday health. Widespread disparities in health outcomes exist however, which adversely impact communities and economies.
Our strategy focuses on those who are marginalised, including those who are discriminated against because of disability, age, race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality.
Running a responsible business is a strategic imperative for Aanav and hardwired into how we do business.
Our responsible business strategy focuses on three interconnected focus areas: making everyday health more inclusive; reducing our environmental impact; and operating with ethical, responsible, and transparent behaviours and standards of conduct.
Health Literacy
By growing knowledge, skills and providing support, our health literacy initiatives are focused on informing and empowering people to adopt better self-care through adopting healthy living and behaviours.
Healthcare Accessibility
By leveraging the power of our purposeful brands and partnering with like-minded organisations, we can help improve the availability of, and access to, healthcare to better meet the needs of people who are typically held back.
Bias and Prejudice
We’re focused on helping to overcome this key barrier to greater health inclusivity, by seeking to tackle bias and prejudice in health systems and challenging outdated social norms by promoting more inclusive policies and practices.
We take action to address these barriers to health inclusivity by:
Driving change through our purposeful brands
Our brands help tackle specific barriers that stand in the way of better everyday health, allowing us to drive greater social impact through our brand programmes and product portfolio.

Our community investment strategy focuses on addressing the barriers to health inclusivity which Haleon, together with our partners, is well placed to act on.
