Sustainability: in what areas has your organisation collaborated with direct competitors to foster wider impact sustainability programmes ?

 

 

 

Portuguese pharmacies are, as a whole, great contributors to a more sustainable environment.
We pay for several actions towards achieving that goal and we are always investigating more ways to further contribution.

We have “Valormed” to take care of all medicine waste.

We take out of date medicine and old x-rays, from the public, and collect them to ensure they are destroyed in a sustainable way.

We do the same with syringes, blood material, paper, all objects used to the measurement of biological parameters, etc.

We pay for these actions alone, the whole group of Portuguese pharmacies, no government aid.
