Sustainability Framework

The seeds of Sustainability were sown right at the inception of Dr. Reddy’s. It seamlessly integrated into the Company’s corporate fabric over the years as the organization worked to meet unmet medical needs and make affordable and innovative medicines accessible to all in society.

Sustainability has a positive effect on each one of us – and goes beyond, to involve not just the organization, but the immediate community, and all of society. This is why we emphasize that Sustainability is not just the domain of Senior Management or the Sustainability Department, but it requires the support and enthusiasm of each stakeholder.
