Our Sustainability and ESG Goals
Dr. Reddy's integrated annual and sustainability report for the Fiscal Year 2025 is out. This edition acknowledges 40 years of Dr. Reddy's by taking you through our most significant milestones.
Our progress was recognized in our ascent to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, improved position in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, and silver medal status by EcoVadis.
We scored “A” in Climate Change & Supplier Engagement and “A” in Water Security. We are the only Indian pharmaceutical company to achieve CDP’s Leadership Band rating of A/A– in Climate Change, Water Security & Supplier Engagement (only 2% of companies globally received an “A” in 2024).

Sustainability is deeply embedded in our purpose and forms the core of our organization.
Our journey began with APIs in 1984, and we evolved from small molecules to large molecules and from APIs to finished formulations over the decades. Amidst this evolution, what has remained constant at the heart of our organization is a deep commitment to patients and the customers we serve through our core principles of collaboration and sustainability.
By the end of FY2025, we had served over 756 million patients and continue our endeavours to reach over 1.5 billion patients globally by 2030. This means almost one in every five people on this planet will use Dr. Reddy’s product or service. The health of people is strongly linked to the health of our planet. That's why our integrated report also shows how sustainability and business are strongly linked.

Our ESG (Environment, Social & Governance) Goals
BUILDING THE FUTURE RESPONSIBLY
Our ESG goals are deeply embedded in our business strategy, guiding our efforts to create a significant and lasting positive impact on the planet and its people. We have made fair progress across several of these goals, even as a few continue to present challenges. We are committed to advancing our ESG journey, ensuring that as we prosper, we do so responsibly and with resilience.
