Testing products on animals has been a long-time controversy in the consumer products industry. While it may be necessary to ensure product safety in some cases, many think alternative testing methods should be explored and utilized whenever possible. Many people believe that companies have a responsibility to prioritize the well-being of animals and to minimize harm as much as possible. Discuss with the interviewer your thoughts on testing consumer products on animals. However, keep in mind that online searches show that Reckitt does conduct testing on animals in some of their studies.

"Science has come a long way, and the need to test health and beauty products on animals is minimal, if not non-existent. I think products should not contain harmful chemicals; the more natural they are, the better. That's one of the attractive elements of the Reckitt Benckiser philosophy - its focus on minimizing and eliminating ingredients of potential concern."

"Overall, I do not support testing on animals. I believe that science has come far enough that this practice is unnecessary. Consumers, on the whole, expect their products to be ethically sourced and manufactured in a cruelty-free fashion and are even amenable to paying a premium for ethically produced products if that's what it takes. I believe my philosophy fits well with that of Reckitt Benckiser and its commitment, for example, to phase out plastic microbeads in personal and home care products, recognizing their potential negative impact on the marine environment."
