a passionate commitment to democratise healthcare.</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">We are proud that this commitment still underpins our business today. With 2,100 stores at the heart of communities, we have a unique opportunity - and responsibility - to look after our communities.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">We believe that healthy communities also need a healthy planet, and it has never been more important to our customers, our team members and society at large that we work in a way that cares for the environment and makes a positive impact on the communities in which we operate. This means finding ways to make our Bootprint as light as possible; looking after our communities; and empowering our staff and customers to make a difference.</p> <p>聽</p> </div> </article> <section class="news homenews panel panel--green"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col col-12 col-lg-3"> <div class="text-card"> <div> <h2>Newsroom</h2> <p class="newsstrap">See all of our latest newsroom stories.</p> <a href="/newsroom/" class="btn">View All Stories</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3"> <div class="card card--md"> <div class="card__img" style="background-image: url('/media/0aofdbkj/olio-image.jpg')"></div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__container"> <p class="date">21 November 2024</p> <p>Boots partners with Olio to further tackle food waste and distribute surplus...</p> </div> </div> <a href="/newsroom/news/boots-partners-with-olio-to-further-tackle-food-waste-and-distribute-surplus-food-to-local-communities/" class="cta"> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3"> <div class="card card--md"> <div class="card__img" style="background-image: url('/media/zn3dp5fo/boots-and-the-princes-trust-autocomplete-copy.png')"></div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__container"> <p class="date">16 July 2024</p> <p>Boots celebrates five-year partnership with The Prince's Trust</p> </div> </div> <a href="/newsroom/news/boots-celebrates-five-year-partnership-with-the-princes-trust/" class="cta"> </a> </div> </div> <div class="col col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3"> <div class="card card--md"> <div class="card__img" style="background-image: url('/media/woqbfns5/gold-award-2024-colour.jpg')"></div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__container"> <p class="date">15 July 2024</p> <p>Boots receives gold award in Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index</p> </div> </div> <a href="/newsroom/news/boots-receives-gold-award-in-stonewalls-workplace-equality-index/" class="cta"> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section>;
