Reckitt Drafted by MLB Team to Keep Fans Safe

Reckitt, parent company of Reckitt Professional, has been named an official partner of MLB’s Chicago White Sox.

Reckitt microbiologists will work with White Sox officials to determine high-touch spots throughout Guaranteed Rate Field, the team’s home ballpark, and develop best practices that will help prevent the spread of germs. Reckitt will outfit the stadium with a supply of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfection products, including those proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Reckitt will also equip Guaranteed Rate Field with signage reinforcing disinfection protocols and dispensers containing Lysol Disinfecting Wipes for the team’s guests.

“We are proud of the work we have done to help protect against the spread of germs throughout the past year and excited to partner with the White Sox to bring our learnings and resources to professional baseball in Chicago,” said E. Yuri Hermida, Reckitt executive vice president of North America hygiene. “Through our enhanced protocols at Guaranteed Rate Field and the extension of the Lysol brand to the White Sox, we hope to inspire confidence among fans as they return to watch their favorite team in-person.”
