| Sustainability Mapping |
| To get a holistic view of sustainability as a concept and to assess the extent to which sustainability has become a Company-wide phenomenon, employees' feedback was sought in the sustainability reporting cycle. |
| |
| Organisational Climate Survey |
| Every two years, we conduct an Organizational Climate Survey across all locations of Dr. Reddy's. The feedback is taken seriously and necessary action plan is charted out for each business or unit. Recently we concluded a Gallup Survey for the organization where the response was about 83%. We are currently analyzing its results. |
