Our stakeholder dialogue
Throughout 2008/09 we have continued to engage with stakeholders and are open and transparent about our activities and progress. The issues of most concern are climate change and global warming. This is why we have continued our carbon reduction programme, which aims to reduce the carbon emissions of our deliveries, the embedded carbon in our products and the amount of energy we use in our business premises.
Our stakeholders were also vocal about the qualities they wanted to see displayed by Alliance Boots and the vital role of corporate social responsibility activities in building the trust which is central to our Group. These included:
- Engagement
- Reputation
- Involvement
- Healthcare
- Confidence
- Transparency
We believe our corporate social responsibility approach continues to meet these expectations. This is based on a consistent framework which is capable of accommodating varying levels of achievement across our two core business activities and takes account of different social, environmental and economic priorities in the countries in which we operate.
