A RayDrogasil, in line with its sustainability strategy and commitments, announced that its portfolio includes 1.101 pharmacies and seven distribution centers consuming electricity from renewable sources.
The company's commitment is to have 90% of its units consuming energy from clean sources by 2030. Currently, the network includes in the project the implementation of 68 distributed generation plants, with 31 already in operation and 37 in the construction phase, with photovoltaic generation, PCH (small hydroelectric plants) and biogas.
The plants in operation are distributed across 10 states (SP, RJ, MG, GO, DF, BA, AL, MT, PA and RS) and the company states that it will have systems in all states of the federation by 2030.
