Strategic approach

We manage our corporate social responsibility programme based on four key areas of activity that are in line with our core values. These are: Our community, Our environment, Our marketplace and Our workplace.  Within each of these areas, we have identified key priorities that reflect our values and support our objective of building a sustainable world-leading group.

This approach provides us with a consistent framework and takes into account the different social, environmental and economic priorities in the countries in which Alliance Boots has businesses. It is supported by a leader in each business who is locally responsible for delivering against agreed targets.

We formally launched our new cross-business programme at our first Group corporate social responsibility meeting held in December 2007. The creation of this active network across our Group will help us to find new ways to capture and guide the passion of our people.
