Sustainability

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.
