employees and community, and corporate governance. We moved from a good-to-do approach to placing ESG right at the core of our business
strategy. This led to the adoption of distinctive patient-centric goals on access, affordability and innovation for patients. By making
our goals clear and measurable, we have created strong accountability. With 20 years of leadership in sustainability in Indian industry,
we see it as our responsibility to set the bar high and deliver on these ambitious targets."
