Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL) has been featured in the inaugural 2018 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI). DRL is the only pharmaceutical company globally and the only Indian company to be recognised for its efforts in creating a work environment that supports gender equality.

The index measures gender equality across internal company statistics, employee policies, external community support and engagement, and gender-conscious product offerings.
