Global Reporting Initiative

Tópicos standards - Social

We believe that, in addition to the positive impact on society resulting from our work in health care, our presence throughout Brazil gives us the potential to contribute to the development of the communities with which we interact. To this end, we invest in actions that promote integral health and the transformation of society in a permanent and sustainable manner:

• We have a Philanthropy and Contributions Policy that establishes guidelines for philanthropy, donations, contributions and incentives to guide decisions on granting them;
• In 2023, we created the Tax Incentive Policy, which aims to defend, regulate and implement our interests in the use of federal tax incentives, defining the roles and responsibilities of all those involved;
• We follow a strategy based on the Theory of Change, which organizes pillars of action and investment guidelines (available on page 72 of the Report);
• In 2023, we designed an indicator dashboard and project monitoring tools, which will allow us to increase visibility of the impact of investments.

To fully exploit this potential, we have established a governance framework to ensure that initiatives are aligned with our ambition and business model.

We have four sources of Philanthropy funding, all focused on health: donation of the company’s own resources, derived from 1% of the Company’s net profit in the previous year; customer donations, made through the sale of copies of Sorria and Troco Solidário; donation of products close to their expiration date (DOA); and tax incentives allocated to the Rouanet Law, Audiovisual Law, Condeca/Fumcad, the Elderly Fund, and the Sports Incentive Law.
