Integral Health

Our culture serves as a compass that guides not only our strategy, but also our daily actions, where care is understood in a comprehensive manner, encompassing the five dimensions of health: physical, mental, spiritual, social, and environmental.

Care for our people, is embodied in the RD Saúde employee health ecosystem called Minha Melhor Versão (My Best Version). This comprehensive program encompasses a wide range of health solutions and care initiatives for our people.

In addition, we provide practical tools that can be used individually, as we recognize that health needs and aspirations can vary from person to person: Change of Habit, Parenting Journey, Mental Health Journey, Health Cell, and Monitoring of Chronic Patients.

We also conduct a biannual health mapping of our people to better understand the health status and develop actions connected to our teams’ needs. In this mapping, we identify risk factors, pregnant employees, and healthy habits, including physical exercise and nutrition.

Finally, we offer health and dental insurance, telemedicine, and a Pharmacy Benefit Card (Univers) to our employees and their dependents.

Occupational Health and Safety

Regarding occupational health and safety, we stay abreast of industry best practices and spare no effort in fostering healthy and safe environments throughout the Company.

In our Distribution Centers (DCs) and Campus, we employ a proprietary health and safety management system that complies with legal requirements, ISO standards, NBRs, and Fire Department technical instructions. The management of this system is entrusted to a dedicated team comprising occupational safety technicians, occupational safety engineers, coordinators, and managers. In 2023, we maintained the ISO 45001 certification in the DCs, except for the newly opened ones, and in the Campus.

Consolidating a preventive safety culture in operations is crucial to achieving our goals and protecting the lives of our people and third parties. Therefore, we invest in disseminating this culture through specific guidelines, support materials, communication, courses, and training.
