Health and Humanity: Lessons from the Global Frontline
Celebrate the launch of our 2020 CSR Report on February 10, 2021
CSR
WBA touches millions of lives around the world every day, through the medicines we dispense and distribute, our convenient retail stores, and our health and beauty products. We deliver healthcare and support communities through both our day-to-day operations and our business values. These essential roles continue to shape our approach to corporate responsibility and sustainability, which is central to fulfilling our purpose of helping people lead healthier and happier lives.
To celebrate the launch of our 2020 CSR Report we are delighted to invite you to our sponsored virtual event with Bloomberg Media Brand Experiences.
For the first time in a lifetime, we are seeing the coming together of people, communities and countries united in the fight against a major global health crisis. The pandemic has heightened the collective desire to do more for each other, for our environment and the greater good. In 2020, our colleagues who work behind a pharmacy counter, in our warehouses, and who drive our vehicles were on the frontline of the pandemic. They provided the necessary advice, support and access to products and services that enabled communities to withstand the most deadly public health crisis of the century.
This virtual event will celebrate the launch of our Corporate Social Responsibility Report ‘At the Heart of Health.’ It will introduce Pharmacy and Health experts who will share their learnings from the pandemic and feature discussions with Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion experts on how to make health systems more equitable and resilient for our collective future.

WBA is proud to belong to the United Nations Global Compact Initiative, a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Joining the UNGC underscores WBA’s long-term commitment to contribute to the SDGs – 17 goals agreed upon by all United Nations member states – to promote peace and prosperity for people and the planet. While our corporate and social responsibility activities are aligned with the SDGs, we are particularly focused on SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being, as reflected throughout our 2019 CSR Report.
