General requirements: Accountability: The individual and their function who initiated the project are accountable for ensuring its progress and completion. Certificate & Testing: Suppliers shall provide a valid Certificate of Analysis/ Conformance/ Manufacture, where applicable with each shipment of goods/ services. The format must be agreed with Reckitt (preferably in the Technical/ Quality Agreement or other contract) prior to commercial orders being placed. Any trial work and testing required for approval must be documented, stored, be traceable and appropriate to the level of risk. Any transportation or storage constraints required to maintain the quality of the goods prior to their use must be stipulated in an agreed contract. Change Management: Change Management shall be used to control the introduction of new suppliers to Reckitt and/or changes to suppliers or their goods/ contract provided. The responsibility for raising the change control form is with the function leading the change. For new suppliers, change management is conducted in accordance with relevant Technology Transfer (TT) process (Technology Transfer Policy POL000147, Global Technology Transfer Procedure – Health SOP010090, Technology Transfer Procedure SOP015560 for Hygiene, Global Technology Transfer Procedure SOP024503 for Nutrition). For changes to existing suppliers/goods/contracted services the change control form will be raised at the initiation of the project. Principles of the change management are detailed in the Global Change Management Procedure SOP012093. Commercial Units: Supply Services assume procurement responsibilities for commercial units. Not all stages and/or activities may be required but where applicable shall follow this procedure. Contracts & Agreements: There shall be written, agreed contracts or purchase orders in place between Reckitt and the Supplier detailing Reckitt minimum requirements, terms and conditions (Procurement responsibility). Consistency of the goods and services provided by the supplier shall be ensured by clearly communicated and documented relevant quality requirements and responsibilities. The requirement for a ‘Reckitt – Supplier’ Technical/Quality Agreement will be determined in accordance with local procedures. This for example may take the form of an agreed and signed specification (R&D responsibility, including Packaging where applicable), signed Supplier Quality Questionnaire5, Supplier Expectation Manual or more formal agreement (Quality responsibility). Technical Manual is required for all Reckitt products classifications manufactured by EMO. Where Reckitt owns the product, a Full Technical Manual shall be provided with all Reckitt internal documentation. Where products are branded by Reckitt and owned by manufacturer (legal Entity), minimum of CPBOM must be provided. Technical Manual template example can be found in EQC Technical Manual Process SOP003390. More detailed local templates can be used where applicable. Local requirements: Additional requirements to this procedure may be included in local procedures where specific Regulatory or Quality demands shall be met. Minimum Requirement: All potential new suppliers to Reckitt and any existing suppliers with a new manufacturing facility, goods and contract services shall be subject to Procurement, Quality1 and Technical2 risk- 3 This copy of the document was retrieved from the system by Loewe Lou on 11 Sep 2024.

Refer to Global Product Compliance Risk Management Procedure SOP012862. o Where suppliers either do not supply the requested information, or the information provided/ risk- based assessment does not meet Reckitt requirements, then this must be immediately escalated to Procurement to assist in resolution. New suppliers: All potential new suppliers to Reckitt shall be subject to a risk-based assessment and be approved by Reckitt Procurement, Sustainability (as per details in Supplier Selection and Management SOP009284), Quality1 and Technical2 prior to the ordering of goods or contracted services for commercial use. They may however be used for trial or development work following assessment and approval by Quality 1 in accordance with local procedures prior to formal approval. The process for the approval and ongoing assurance of suppliers must meet requirements of this procedure. Regulatory and Safety: R&D and Technical must ensure that Regulatory and Safety consultation and alignment is completed at each stage to ensure that regulatory and safety requirements are identified, considered and completed. All supplier approvals shall comply with local and market Regulatory requirements. Risk-based3: All Reckitt facilities must have a documented risk-based process for selecting, approving, assuring and discontinuing suppliers that meet the requirements of this procedure. The level of effort required to select, approve, assure and discontinue/delist suppliers must be appropriate to the level of risk associated with the supplier and their goods/contracted services provided. Refer to section 6.0 for further details. Site Quality Audit: Where the risk-based assessments determine that Quality site audits are required, these shall be conducted in accordance with the Global Auditing Process SOP007070. Auditors performing these audits shall be qualified in accordance with the Lead Auditor Qualification and Competency Assessment Procedure SOP005289. Additionally, Sustainability criteria as per Appendix 3 Human Rights Quality Aide Memoire of Global Auditing Process SOP007070 shall also be considered during the Quality audit. Any findings shall be captured in the audit report (Appendix 5 of Global Auditing Process SOP007070) and be escalated to Sustainability team via email [email protected]. A list of approved suppliers for each site shall be kept and maintained by the site Quality 1 teams. Supplier Balance Scorecard: Globally coordinated tool, required for an on-going supplier monitoring. The criteria including definition of number of suppliers to be selected and which suppliers are to be monitored (by factory/location) is to be agreed between participating in the activity functions based on supplier past performance, risk assessment of goods supplied and availability of Reckitt resources. For details see Supplier Balance Scorecards SOP SOP014275. Supplier Quality Performance: Locally coordinated tool, required for an on-going supplier monitoring. It should include numbers of received non-conforming good or services, adequacy of documentation received with each delivery (for example Certificate of Analysis or Conformance, as required) and a risk-based review on the period of re-assessment for the supplier. Technology Transfer (TT): For approval of goods or for site-to-site transfers of goods, the applicable process as per Technology Transfer Policy - Health POL000147 and Global Technology Transfer Procedure – Health SOP010090, Technology Transfer Procedure SOP015560 for Hygiene, Global Technology Transfer Procedure SOP024503 for Nutrition shall be followed.

This may initiate the pre-selection stage where an alternative source is not already approved. By the end of this stage the goods may be brought from the alternative supply source where applicable. If no purchase has been made from the supplier within 2 years (high risk) or 3 years (medium/low risk) since they were initially approved and there is a still a requirement to use their goods, then re-qualification shall be performed using risk- management principles (see section 6.0 for details). Goods cannot be procured until re-qualification is complete. The purpose of the Supplier Exit stage is to remove a supplier as an approved source of good(s)/service(s) via Change Control. This may relate to specific goods/services provided by the supplier only. Reasons for this could be following a deterioration in Quality or Commercial Performance, Regulatory or Ethical non-compliance of supplier or their goods to Reckitt requirements. By the end of this stage the supplier will no longer be approved to supply the specified goods/services to Reckitt. Once exit is complete the supplier may only re-supply the goods/services to Reckitt once the supplier approval process has been completed. This may also initiate the pre-selection stage where no alternative source is already approved. Responsibility Table High Level Sub-Level Technical Activities to be Completed Proc. Qual.

The level of control applied to supplier management should be proportionate to the level of risk to the product, business and consumer/user. These guidelines are not exhaustive and shall not be substitute for local regulations and requirements. Refer to the Global Product Compliance Risk Management Procedure SOP012862 for further details. Figure 2: Supplier Risk Management Criteria The Figure 2 provides guidance on the Technical and/or Quality risk assessment process. The R&D / Quality / Packaging teams, as appropriate should determine the risks on a case-by-case basis. Commercial risks are not included. The output from the risk assessment will determine the requirements for ongoing supplier assurance. In principle, low risk suppliers will require less governance from Reckitt whilst high risk suppliers will require greater focus for assurance. 12 This copy of the document was retrieved from the system by Loewe Lou on 11 Sep 2024.
