Kris Licht, CEO of Reckitt, participated in a JP Morgan fireside chat in July 2025 where he discussed the company's strategy. He stated that Reckitt is investing in sales execution in North America from a technology and people standpoint, and that the company aims to grow earnings per share (EPS) in fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027. Licht also commented that China is "no longer an emerging market" and is "perhaps the most sophisticated consumer market in the world," and reiterated a commitment to returning excess cash to shareholders. Licht has also been active in promoting Reckitt's public health initiatives in India. At the launch of Season 11 of the NDTV-Dettol Banega Swasth India campaign in October 2024, he highlighted the program's achievements, including a nearly 40% reduction in school absenteeism and reaching over a million schools. In previous years, Licht has emphasized the importance of long-term partnerships to address global health challenges, stating that "sustainability and business success are inextricably linked" and that "the only way we're going to tackle these large problems... is through expansive long-term Partnerships." He has also personally advocated for holistic living, noting that being with his family is beneficial for his mental health.

“Sustainability and business success are inextricably linked. Businesses can only succeed in the long term if they are aware of the impact they have on people and the planet, work to create a more positive impact and are transparent about how they do it.”
“When we think about some of the biggest global health challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, poor hygiene and sanitation infrastructure and their impact on health and wellness of people, particularly children, climate change and biodiversity loss, the only way we're going to tackle these large problems and make a...”
