About the Event
For the first time in a lifetime, we are seeing the coming together of people, communities and countries united in the fight against a major global health crisis. The pandemic has heightened the collective desire to do more for each other, for our environment and the greater good. In 2020, our colleagues who work behind a pharmacy counter, in our warehouses, and who drive our vehicles were on the frontline of the pandemic. They provided the necessary advice, support and access to products and services that enabled communities to withstand the most deadly public health crisis of the century. This virtual event, proudly sponsored by Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), will celebrate the launch of WBA's Corporate Social Responsibility Report 'At the Heart of Health.' It will introduce Pharmacy and Health experts who will share their learnings from the pandemic and feature discussions with Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion experts on how to make health systems more equitable and resilient for our collective future. As well as sharing highlights from the 2020 CSR Report, Ornella Barra, WBA's Co-Chief Operating Officer and CSR Committee Chair will be joined by special guests including: Alex Gorsky, CEO of Johnson & Johnson; Jean-Paul Agon, CEO of L'Oréal; Valerie Jarrett, Former Senior Advisor to U.S. President Barack Obama; Dr. Sally Uren OBE, Chief Executive at Forum for the Future. Please join us for thought-provoking discussions on topics including: How has the pandemic influenced sustainability, and how will that impact health and humanity? How is diversity, equity and inclusion improving health outcomes for the most vulnerable communities? How do we ensure equitable vaccine distribution within both local and global health systems? What has the pandemic taught us about our collective responsibility to the world's future health and wellbeing?
