Sustainable Development Goals

Theme management

For RD Saúde, promoting diversity means fostering a more inclusive work environment to reflect the plurality of our society. Our priority for this decade is to increase the representation of minority groups within our workforce and ensure a truly inclusive work environment. To achieve this, we strive to embark on a journey of respect where each individual is valued for their uniqueness and finds the environment and tools necessary for their development.

The RD+ Diversa platform – which has the slogan “Be who you are here” – focuses our actions on promoting diversity and inclusion across five key areas:

* Gender Equality;
* Persons with Disabilities;
* Race;
* LGBTI+;
* Generations

The platform embodies the evolution of our strategic positioning of care and respect for each professional who helps build our history, aspiring to make us the health care company that most promotes diversity and inclusion in Brazil. In 2023, we made significant progress in several areas:

* Diversity Census: We continued conducting self-declaration census campaigns, reaching 62% of employees, with ongoing efforts planned to achieve 100% coverage of our internal stakeholders.
* Black Women: Another significant advancement was our commitment to the career development of black women at RD Saúde. The Elas Lideram Program was developed by the Gender and Race Affinity Groups, in partnership with the Corporate University, aimed at providing career development opportunities for black women internally.
* Women’s Leadership Program: Created to ensure an increasingly more equitable work environment. Specialized mentoring in inclusive management, psychological safety, and gender equality, as well as thematic meetings, are conducted. Of the three groups covered by the program, two comprised managers and executive managers and one comprised our officers.
* In 2023, we continued to be part of the Teva Women in Leadership Index by B3, Brazil’s first index that selects companies with the highest representation of women in leadership.
* Best Company for LGBTI+ People to Work For: We received recognition from the Equidade BR Program by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, in partnership with Instituto +Diversidade and the LGBTI+ Companies and Rights Forum. In our first participation, we achieved a score of 100 out of 120, which highlights the breadth of our good practices.
* We also received recognition from B3 and joined the IDIVERSA Index, with a focus on race and gender aspects.

The theme of Diversity and Inclusion is also part of our 2030 Commitments, within the Healthier Businesses pillar. Learn more in the 2030 Commitments section (inserir link).
