GSK GSK plc

Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Rule”) generally provides that a company must file a specialized disclosure report if it manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which one or more of the following minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the company’s products: cassiterite; columbite-tantalite (coltan); and wolframite; their derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten; and gold (collectively, “3TGs”). These are considered “conflict minerals” under the Rule regardless of their geographic origin and whether or not they fund armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or its neighboring countries (the “covered countries”).

GSK is a global biopharma company that researches and develops a broad range of innovative products in three primary areas: Vaccines, Speciality Medicines, and General Medicines. Product formulations include tablets, creams/ointments, inhalers, injections, liquids and sterile products. GSK obtains (i) materials from suppliers for manufacturing purposes and (ii) finished products from contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for sales and distribution by GSK.

Pursuant to the Rule, we conducted in good faith a technical review of GSK’s products and surveyed our suppliers and CMOs. This review and survey was updated via ongoing monitoring for calendar year 2022 to determine whether 3TGs were present in our products. For those products that did contain 3TGs, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry that GSK believes was reasonably designed to determine whether any 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of these materials or products originated in the covered countries or was not from recycled or scrap sources. For any materials or products containing 3TGs, we requested information from the applicable suppliers and CMOs regarding the source of such 3TGs. None of the suppliers or CMOs indicated to us that any 3TGs contained in the materials or products they provided to GSK in 2022 came from the covered countries or were not from recycled or scrap sources.

In summary, as a result of our diligence on the suppliers and CMOs, we have no reason to believe that any of the 3TGs contained in our 2022 products that are within the scope of the Rule originated in the covered countries or were not from recycled or scrap sources.

We note that prior to July 18, 2022, GSK’s Consumer Healthcare business was held through a joint venture with Pfizer Inc., with GSK holding a 68% interest and Pfizer holding a 32% interest in the joint venture. As of July 18, 2022, GSK effectuated a demerger of approximately 80% of GSK’s 68% holding in the Consumer Healthcare business (which is now a standalone business held by Haleon plc) to GSK shareholders. The demerger was completed on July 18, 2022. As of the demerger, GSK retained a stake of approximately 13% in Haleon, and as a consequence of subsequent sales this has been reduced to 10.3%. As a result, this Form SD does not cover GSK’s Consumer Healthcare business, which, as noted, is now a part of Haleon.

The information in this Form SD is also publicly available on our website at www.gsk.com/en-gb/company/codes-standards-and-reports/#conflict-minerals-report.
