6 Takeaways From WBA’s Healthy Communities Day

WBA leaders, team members, partners and suppliers came together in a shared commitment to people and the planet.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2024 / At Walgreens Boots Alliance's first-ever Healthy Communities Day, held in Chicago this week, participants celebrated the progress of WBA's health-centered Environmental, Social & Governance strategy and crafted future ambitions for healthier communities around the world. Marking the launch of its ESG Report for 2023, the event brought together stakeholders active at the forefront of global impact issues, from climate change to healthcare access, for candid discussions of what's next.

Representatives ranging from global enterprise leaders to small business owners to nonprofit founders gathered in the National Museum of Mexican Art for the day, itself a testament to Walgreens' community involvement as a museum sponsor and just a short distance from the first Walgreens store opened in 1901. Here are six takeaways from the event.

1. None of us can do it alone. One theme throughout the day was that significant change comes when we work together and multiply our impact. WBA CEO Tim Wentworth set the tone for open partnership: "The most important part of our relationship is that we can share and define goals that we couldn't achieve individually, but together we can exceed."

Ornella Barra, WBA COO international and ESG committee chair, agreed, saying, "We understand the need to keep up at this work and will continue to make investments that improve the prospects and environment for our people and our consumers. We cannot achieve this alone."

A heartfelt example of what we've already accomplished together, with partner Vitamin Angels and the support of our customers, team members and their incredible network, is the over 400 million parents and children around the world supplied with life-changing vitamins and supplements in the past 10 years. Watch Michaela's story above to see the real-life change we're making.

1. Climate change is closer than you think-and it's personal. In a discussion moderated by Una Kent, WBA's VP of ESG and DEI, International, panelists discussed the inextricable link between climate change and human health. David Croft​, Global Head of Sustainability at Reckitt, acknowledged a misconception that many people hear climate change and think of distant polar ice caps and not the impact right at their doorstep.

"Does that feel personal to you? Do you want to change something about something that's so remote?" he asked. "One of the biggest things we've done together is start to change some of the conversation so that climate change becomes personal."
