Strategy 2030
Since the launch of our Sustainability Strategy 2030 in 2021, RD Saúde has been dedicated to advancing environmental, social, and governance initiatives. Our ambition is to become the group that contributes the most to a healthier society in Brazil by 2030.
We aim to go beyond the commercialization of medicines, promoting health and disease prevention, supporting and encouraging the professional and personal development of our people, and reducing our environmental impact. We believe that by doing so, we are working towards building a healthier world every day.
