Policies and Statements
ESG declaration
We believe that health should always be in the forefront.
Whether in people, in the environment or in business.
And bringing health to others has been our passion for more than 40 years.
We are a company composed of people passionate about caring.
This immense love inspires us to be close to every Brazilian, promoting well-being and all that is needed to live a fuller life.
And it is because we understand that a truly full life can only be lived in harmony with nature that we cultivate more sustainable relationships with the environment and sow these seeds of change throughout Brazil.
These are the beliefs that have built and driven our business. But we want more. We want a Pague Menos even more diverse, inclusive and full of opportunities to grow, to develop and to transform.
For all of these reasons, we go much further. Pague Menos now integrates a robust ESG agenda into its Strategic Plan, with commitments until 2030. Because our purpose is to always do more for the health of all.

What we have already accomplished
Pague Menos has pioneered the interior and the mountains as well as the coastal cities to bring more health to Brazilians. But wherever we arrive, we also bring our commitment to transforming lives and the environment. For over 40 years, we have promoted social and environmental actions in our stores and in our communities, impacting employees, customers and society as a whole.
Planting seedlings, supporting environmental preservation projects, holding cultural events and donating ambulances and wheelchairs are some of the Pague Menos initiatives that have benefited the population.
Pague Menos Running Circuit
The most beloved circuit in Brazil has already been held in 18 cities and won the hearts of 320 thousand participants in 10 editions, with cultural, social, ecological and health promotion activities.
Solidarity is part of our history. Pague Menos has already benefited thousands of Brazilians with disabilities and reduced mobility through the donation of wheelchairs, guaranteeing a fuller life to these people, in addition to the right to come and go.
Pague Menos is writing a new chapter in valuing Brazilian talent. The Literary Contest publishes 100 poems selected by the jury in a special collection and rewards the authors of the five best poems.
Pague Menos encourages Brazilian art and culture with this contest. In the last edition alone, more than 3 thousand paintings, collages and engravings were submitted, with cash prizes and a virtual showing of the finalist’s works.
Pague Menos Ambulance Donations
We activated the spirit of solidarity from the North to the South through an action that mobilized approximately 20 thousand institutions. More than 3.5 million customers participated and chose the institutions benefiting from these brand new ambulances.
Pague Menos Women's Fair
The biggest women's event in Brazil brings together, in each edition, more than 20 thousand women, for 4 days of intense programming with courses, workshops, a health and beauty Mega Fair offering stands from the biggest brands in the country, as well as major national attractions.
Green City
Pague Menos has already made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, by planting more than 65,000 seedlings in just 1 hour. The Green City Campaign allocates part of the profits from the sale of participating products to the planting of seedlings in several cities.
Little creatures
In addition to winning over and making children happy throughout Brazil, this socio-environmental responsibility initiative guaranteed resources for projects to preserve our fauna.
