The Boots Group will achieve triple bottom line reporting this month by adding an environment report to its community review and annual financial report.
The UK’s largest pharmaceutical retailer has prepared internal reports on its environmental performance for a number of years, but this month’s document will be the first published externally. It will feature a set of performance indicators and will reveal that Boots managed to cut transport fleet journeys by 1.2 million kilometres last year, saving 400,000 litres of fuel.
This year’s newly published 24 page community review was for the first time brought out simultaneously with the Boots annual report ‘to demonstrate the importance we place on declaring social responsibility,’ said Pamela Atack, community relation’s manager.
It showed Boots contributed £4.6million of last year’s £538m profits to the community and gave more than 250 staff members a total of 485 days off last year to help school pupils in a deprived area of Nottingham.
