British High Commissioner Jane Marriott visited Reckitt Pakistan’s Head Office in Karachi, where she engaged with the company’s leadership team and employees on Pakistan’s evolving public health landscape, the importance of health and hygiene access, and the role businesses can play in creating sustainable impact.
The visit highlighted Reckitt’s more than 70-year legacy in Pakistan and its continued commitment to improving health and hygiene outcomes through trusted brands, strategic partnerships and purpose-led initiatives that reach communities across the country.
Discussions focused on some of Pakistan’s most pressing public health challenges and the opportunities to improve health outcomes through greater awareness, access and innovation. Reckitt also shared its growing social impact agenda, which aims to expand access to health and hygiene solutions and drive meaningful impact at scale.
A key area of discussion was the importance of trusted health and hygiene solutions in supporting everyday well-being. For generations, products such as Dettol Antiseptic Liquid have been a trusted part of Pakistani households, reflecting the important role quality and accessible hygiene solutions continue to play in helping families protect themselves and maintain healthier lives.
Speaking on the occasion, Asif Hashmi, General Manager, Reckitt Pakistan, said:
“For over 70 years, Reckitt has been part of the fabric of everyday life in Pakistan. Guided by our ambition to put Better Health in More Hands, Every Day, we continue to improve lives through trusted brands, purpose-led initiatives and partnerships that create meaningful impact across communities”
Commenting on the visit, Jane Marriott, British High Commissioner to Pakistan, said:
“What Reckitt Pakistan is doing through its school hygiene programme shows how practical action can deliver real results for children and communities. Better health and hygiene mean more children in classrooms, stronger futures and greater opportunity. Partnerships like this matter because they turn commitment into impact where it is needed most”
The visit reinforced the importance of collaboration, long-term commitment and shared ambition in advancing healthier communities and addressing Pakistan’s evolving public health needs.
