Sustainability thinking has been built into every aspect of our company, beginning with our purpose and values. Sustainability is the framework which integrates all our strategies, systems, processes and practices. As a company, we have embraced the triple bottom line approach to sustainability. We seek to promote responsibility and create the capacity to re-invent, sustain and thrive through changing generations of technology, managers, shareholders and society. The Sustainability Statement captures our commitment and priorities.
Our Primary Impact on the world is through our business. As a generics pharmaceutical company, we produce and market lower cost alternatives which make medicines affordable and accessible to patients. Our investment in innovation is fostering NCE research and helping us create a differentiated products portfolio, which together address unmet and poorly met medical needs. This social benefit is inherent in our business model. We also implement patient assistance and social marketing programs for patient education and awareness building for disease prevention.
Redefining success: People-Planet-Profit. While the purpose of our business is to help people lead healthier lives, delivering our products responsibly by addressing environmental and social impacts in the value chain is equally important.
Living our values — harmony and social responsibility in our business operations.The environment management system at Dr Reddy’s spans across product development, manufacturing and strategies for addressing climate change. Our product development work is supported by green chemistry principles, manufacturing operations with ISO 14001 standard in some of our facilities, and a state-of-the-art facility for 100% effluent recycling. Our management system for environment protection is tied to health and safety. The Safety, Health and Environment management (SHE) system provides the framework that assures a safer and healthy work environment.
We invest in health and education programs in communities around our manufacturing facilities. Our investment in social initiatives that address larger social concerns such as child development, education, poverty, livelihood, drinking water and capacity building of social entrepreneurs, enable delivery of innovative, long-lasting solutions to pressing health and social problems.
Our employees play an important role in creating a sustainable future, so we have implemented people practices to enhance the work environment and bring out the best in people. These practices encompass a well-defined performance enhancement system, developmental programs, recognition practices, equal opportunity employment and well-being programs.
