Climate change

Compared to 2022, there was a 27.16% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. This reduction was mainly due to the actions taken in transport between the Distribution Centers and the Pharmacies (page 96), and the increased consumption of energy from renewable sources.

In 2024, we will implement a pilot project with suppliers responsible for emissions from purchased goods and services to engage them in decarbonization strategies.

We reached 72% of operations supplied with renewable energy.

The Company’s efforts to reduce GHG emissions and optimize energy use in a sustainable manner.

Over the past few years, we have made significant progress on the ESG agenda and its integration into the routine analysis of scenarios, trends and factors that may positively or negatively impact our business. Climate-related risks are embedded in the Company’s Risk Matrix and are continuously monitored and evaluated by the Sustainability Committee and the […]

To calculate energy consumption from non-renewable sources, we consider the percentage of non-renewable electricity from utilities, using values from the National Energy Balance (BEN) for this calculation. Then, we add the consumption of non-renewable fuels (aviation kerosene, gasoline, diesel, and LPG). To calculate energy consumption from renewable sources, we consider the percentage of renewable electricity […]

We do not control energy consumption outside the organization. Therefore, this information is unavailable.

The Company’s energy intensity ratio is calculated based on the total energy consumption within the organization for the year, including the consumption of fuels and electricity. The denominator used is the built area, in square meters, of pharmacies, distribution centers, and the campus (office). We had a reduction in the ratio between 2022 and 2023 […]

As a result of our energy efficiency actions, in 2023, we had an average 18% reduction in the total electricity consumption of the network of pharmacies. However, there was no overall reduction in electricity consumption from 2022 to 2023, a reflection of the expansion and growth of our operation. Two methods were employed to calculate […]

Our approach to energy efficiency is based on two main fronts of action: • initiatives to reduce consumption at facilities, through the modernization of physical infrastructure and equipment, and awareness programs for our people and customers; • actions focused on increasing energy consumption from renewable sources. We maintain 100% of our lighting with LED bulbs […]

Since 2021, we have been making progress in the use of electric trucks for B2B deliveries, i.e. the route from Distribution Centers to pharmacies. In addition, part of the fleet has switched to S10 diesel, a less carbon-intensive fuel. We continue working to strengthen the partnerships with last mile delivery companies to increase the use […]
