Danielle Byrne has been named Reckitt Hygiene’s new head of sustainability and purpose for Australia.
The newly created leadership role will see her develop and execute the sustainability agenda for consumer household brands including Finish, Glen 20 Vanish and Pine O Cleen.
Byrne joined Reckitt in 2018 and has worked with several strategic customers, most recently with Woolworths. She has experience across the consumer goods industry internationally and lead commercial roles in the UK prior to joining the company.
Reckitt Hygiene ANZ’s regional director, Oliver Tatlow, said Byrne is already playing a “critical role” in helping bring the business’ sustainability strategy to life.
“We recognise that there is more to be done which is why we’ve appointed Danielle Byrne to this newly created role. Danielle brings great energy, drive and focus to the areas where we can make the biggest impact, and her appointment reinforces Reckitt’s commitment to work towards a more socially conscious and environmentally sustainable future.”
Last year, Reckitt pledged to halve its carbon footprint and the use of virgin plastic. It is moving to be 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
