Our first Sustainability Report
Better Health Starts Here: Our 2024 Dis-Chem Sustainability Report is all about our social and environmental commitments, and the stories of people whose lives have been touched by Dis-Chem.
How we impact the world
Dis-Chem impacts the world and our stakeholders in many ways. We identified the most material impacts to better understand our ESG risks and opportunities. These impacts have been guiding us to focus on the right issues in our decision-making.
ESG strategy
Our ESG strategy is all about people, the planet, our customers, communities and supply chain. We focus our efforts in the areas where the business can make a positive impact. In this way, we contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
THE CEO MESSAGE
“Sustainability is at the core of every business decision we make. In the past few years, Dis-Chem has evolved from an entrepreneurial and bottom-line driven business to one where we now deliberately consider ESG impacts.”
– Rui Morais, CEO
ESG governance
