Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Walgreens
We are transparent about the products we use, what’s in them and where they come from. By tracing the origins of the ingredients and materials used we’ve learned more about their environmental impact, the people who source them and the communities around them. This means we’re constantly evaluating our whole supply chain and making changes.
By 2023,100 percent of Walgreens owned brands will use palm oil from Sustainable Palm Oil-certified sources and have plans to make all plastics used in packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable. Across all our brands we’ve now eliminated chemicals on our Restricted Substances List (RSL).
We are determined to protect the planet through programs in our operations and by engaging suppliers on environmental issues. We have committed to reduce energy consumption and emissions, reduce waste, re-use and recycle more – our Recycle at Boots program has diverted more than 15 metric tonnes of plastic waste from landfill.
As part of the WRAP Food Waste Reduction Roadmap and Step up to the Plate, Boots UK has pledged to cut food waste by almost 50 percent by 2030.
Across WBA, we’ve also cut our carbon emissions by almost 15 percent, heading towards a 30 percent cut by 2030.
We have programs and campaigns in place all over the world designed to improve access to affordable, quality healthcare, and in fiscal 2021 we were especially focused on health equity. We are working to reduce health disparities and over the past eight years have donated more than 70 million immunizations for children in developing countries through the Walgreens Get A Shot. Give A Shot. Program and the United Nations Foundation. In partnership with The Hygiene Bank we have donated more than 680,000 toiletries and essentials to people living in hygiene poverty.
We also have programs to combat opioid abuse and prevent overdose-related deaths and have partnered with organizations such as the Susan G. Komen, Macmillan Cancer Support and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support people living with cancer.
