RD Saúde’s water consumption is restricted to the consumption of our people, personal hygiene and cleaning of units (RD Saúde Campus, DCs and pharmacies). We calculate the water consumption of pharmacies in areas with water stress, that is, regions where the demand for water is greater than its availability and/or capacity for renewal. To this end, we consider the percentage of pharmacies located in areas with water stress classified as “High”, according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool, multiplied by the total consumption of this business unit. Neither DCs nor the Campus are located in areas with water stress, based on the assessment carried out in 2023.
