Transforming for a sustainable future
Providing cures and reducing the disease burden are central to our purpose as a leading pharma company. We have always held a holistic worldview that regards society and the environment as being interdependent, helping to assure human health and well-being, a sustainable planet, and a well-integrated society.
In 2022, building on our incremental work in sustainability, and close on the heels of a waning pandemic that had devastated mankind, Dr. Reddy’s launched its sustainability vision for 2030. Spanning across diverse areas we care about—from environmental and social sustainability to stronger governance, from greater access and affordability of medicines to public health issues, from greater economic equity and accountability to acceptance of greater social parity—our sustainability goals reveal our bold vision for the future and what we collectively strive to achieve every day.
Our purpose “Good health can’t wait” translates into three pillars with sustainability at the core
Our sustainability/ESG goals
We believe that our strength in innovation, ethical values and focus on bringing critical, life-saving products early to market secures a unique kind of sustainability for us. Our leadership across global markets is indicative of our strong alignment with our ‘Good Health Can’t Wait’ agenda.
While we renewed our goals in 2020 to adapt to changing stakeholder expectations, address climate change, and our resolve to work on material issues, we continued to examine more ways to make an impact. We consulted a larger set of global sustainability and pharmaceutical standards and frameworks, and these findings guided our ESG reviews with the leadership and Board.
Combining a top-down and bottom-up approach, using more tools such as our updated enterprise risk management findings, we set 14 bold and ambitious goals across the ESG dimensions to form our vision for 2030. Each of these goals takes into consideration our critical material topics, the external environment in which we operate, and the business and social impact that we can create.

Our Sustainability Framework
At Dr. Reddy's, we are committed to taking meaningful action for a sustainable future. With our long-standing commitment to protecting the environment, we are working on solutions that help minimize the impact of our operations, driving improvements in multiple areas at various stages of the product life cycle.
Looking at issues of maximum importance to our stakeholders and the business, we are in the process of identifying material issues and building our strategic sustainability framework. We will develop ambitious goals and management targets for each focus area, with multiple milestones, incorporating governance systems and
processes, monitoring, and disclosing our performance for each goal, and ensuring independent third-party assurance.
We are determined to play our part in upholding the more prominent global perspective. We will align ourselves with the United Nations' sustainable development goals (UN SDGs), mapping them with our top material issues, allocating internal resources, taking relevant actions, and building technical capabilities. We are also working on greater integration of ESG into our business and building stronger stakeholder relationships by intensifying dialogue and communicating our vision and progress around material issues.
The ESG principles underlie our business strategy. We address customer needs and create value for all stakeholders by addressing unmet needs. We are conscious of our footprint and impact and believe that addressing sustainability challenges is the need of the hour. Therefore, we continue to follow the best practices to make our business more sustainable.
