Reshaping RB: transformative strategies for a new world

In this episode of Magellan - In the Know, Hamish Douglass, talks to Laxman Narasimhan, CEO of global consumer goods company, Reckitt Benckiser, the makers of brands such as Detol, Mortein, Nurofen and Vanish. Discussing the challenges that COVID has released on the business world in 2020, Laxman explains why business leaders are entering a ‘new world’ that will challenge them to make a difference at a level not fully thought through yet. We find out more about RB’s relationship with China in the midst of rising international tensions, and ask where Laxman places RB in the big issues around environmental and social responsibility, given the company’s promise to pursue a cleaner, healthier world for all.
