While 'Sustainability: The Triple Bottom Line' as a term may have a contemporary ring to it, the spirit underlying it has been relevant through the ages. In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (established by a resolution of UN General Assembly) defined sustainability as "Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". It also popularized the use of this term for resource renewability, desired business plan and a progressive way of doing things. At Dr. Reddy's, we believe that any high performance sustainable organization rests on the three pillars of economic, social and environmental performance. To be a truly sustainable organization, in the broadest definition of its terms, an organization must perform well across all three dimensions. As a company, we are fully committed to the principles of sustainability. We see our stakeholders as shareholders, to whom we promise sustained economic performance, the society - to whom we promise to create positive impact through our activities both business as well as voluntary - and finally the environment, which we promise will be well protected and enriched from our various activities.
