Losing sight of fear
Welcome to The Human Factor, where you’ll get to know some inspiring team
members who have overcome an obstacle – be it an illness, injury, disability
or natural disaster – and achieved their personal and professional goals.
F
or more than 30 years, Sue German has worked
in the Windsor, Wis., distribution center
(DC) with limited peripheral vision caused
by a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmen-
tosa. The disease keeps her from seeing what’s beside,
above or below her, so she sticks to familiar routes and
remembers exactly where she puts everything.
“I told my supervisor about my condition, but I
didn’t want other people to treat me differently,”
says German. “I never wanted to be identified by
my disability.”
When she started as a warehouse picker in 1982,
the hereditary disease didn’t impact her work. She
later moved to a clerical position in administration
and became a computer operator soon after. Even
though her vision was getting worse, she was still
able to manage life in an office setting. Four years
later, she was promoted to supervisor and assumed
responsibility of developing training, including safety
training. German loves working with team member
safety and serving on the DC’s first safety team.
Two years ago, German was offered a safety pro-
cess manager position. It was a job she wanted, but
it called for being in the warehouse more, looking
for potential hazards and determining how an ac-
cident occurred. To better perform the role, she felt
she needed to share her impairment with the rest of
her co-workers.
Envisioning a new future
“Telling my co-workers about my impairment
was one of the scariest things I had ever done, but
the response was nothing like what I had feared,”
remembers German. “The first thing my managers
asked was, ‘What can we do to help you succeed?’”
They brought in a mobility specialist. He walked
the warehouse with German, made recommenda-
tions about how she could accomplish her tasks, and
had managers wear special goggles that helped them
experience how German sees the world.
“When I go into the warehouse, I’m humbled by
the number of team members who have volunteered
to work with me,” she says. “I see what I can see, and
they see what I can’t. Together we make our DC a safe
place. That’s the most caring display of ‘Be One’ I’ve
ever seen.” ww

Letter from the editor
As I write this, it’s currently below freezing
in Chicago. More severe winter weather
hit the South and the Northeast today,
forcing hundreds of our stores to close
and leaving thousands of our customers
without power. So, even though this issue
covers March and April … I’m finding it a bit
difficult to write about spring. That’s the funny thing with magazine
publishing. Just like any national title, the Walgreen World team is
already planning, writing and editing months before the publication
ends up in your hands.
Take this issue’s cover shoot at our Net Zero store in Evanston,
Ill., for example. We captured some of the store’s “green”
elements, such as solar panels and wind turbines, while
dodging mountains of snow in the parking lot. And before we
photographed customer service associate Karen Brown inside
the store, we had to move armfuls of teddy bears and heart-
shaped balloons – some emitting lights, others an abbreviated
rendition of “What I Like About You” by The Romantics – out of
the frame. We avoided the seasonal merchandise because when
you read this, it’ll be closer to Earth Day, not Valentine’s Day.
Speaking of cold weather, this issue’s back cover spotlights
Alex Gourlay, executive vice president, president of Customer
Experience and Daily Living, who attributes Boots No7
moisturizer to helping him get through the winter. Walgreen World
sat down with Gourlay to talk Scottish lingo, his longtime hairstyle
and what he misses most about the U.K. (hint: It’s “sweet”). Don’t
forget, we always like hearing from you – whether you want to
rave about your favorite skincare product, or tell us what you
thought of this issue. Email walgreen.world@walgreens.com

By the people, for the people
Making children her charitable cause, Jennifer Hudson receives the People’s Choice Award for
Favorite Humanitarian.
A
s the official retail sponsor of the People’s
Choice Awards, Walgreens had the honor
of presenting Jennifer Hudson with the
award for Favorite Humanitarian on Jan. 8. The
Oscar- and Grammy-winner was recognized for
the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, a children’s
charity she founded with her older sister, Julia, in
memory of her late mother, brother and 7-year-
old nephew.
“It’s one thing to be a celebrity and have
power, but it means nothing if we’re not making
a difference by helping someone else and
trying to change a life,” Hudson said when she
accepted the award during the People’s Choice
Awards ceremony.
Named after her nephew, the foundation
focuses on setting children up to become positive
influences in their communities. “The mission
of the Julian D. King Gift Foundation is to make
sure children from all backgrounds are provided
stability, support and positive experiences to help
enable them to become productive, confident,
happy adults,” says Hudson.
This is the second year Walgreens has
presented the award for Favorite Humanitarian.
Hudson’s efforts focus on making children’s lives
better, which is a cause Walgreens, Hollywood
and many others are happy to rally behind.
Hudson shares why she’s so passionate about
her cause, what makes her proud and how
Walgreens purpose connects with her work:
Walgreens: Why is this cause so important
to you?
Jennifer Hudson: In the area we came from,
so many children went without, and it’s not
right for children to have to worry about these
things. We were taught at an early age to
give back and help others, so my sister and I
decided to make sure kids have the things they
need to go to school, and opportunities to
have fun and be a kid, instead of worrying
about things they shouldn’t.
W: Which of the foundation’s most recent
initiatives are you most proud of?
JH: Every year we have something called
Hatch Day. The phrase came from my nephew
who was always saying he wanted to “hatch
things.” In the spirit of this, we give children
school supplies – notebooks, backpacks,
pencils – which are so hard to come by for
some of them. Hatch Day makes sure they
have everything they need to get the education
they deserve, and if I can help one child learn
better, I’m very proud.
W: What does the Favorite Humanitarian
award mean to you?
JH: This award from Walgreens and the
People’s Choice Awards is so special to me.
It really means a lot knowing that the
foundation is making a difference in other
people’s lives. Through Walgreens purpose
to help people get, stay and live well, it’s
supporting our high hopes for what the
foundation can accomplish and all the lives
we can affect. Thank you, Walgreens and
People’s Choice! ww

Healthcare has a new hero
Cartoon character Andy Biotic™, created by one of our own, is teaching children how their bodies
fend off illnesses and fight infections.
By Stephanie Goldberg
A
s the father of two young kids, Wesley
Blauvelt knew he’d eventually have to
answer some tough questions – from
“Is the tooth fairy real?” to the dreaded “Where
do babies come from?” However, he wasn’t pre-
pared to talk about the health and mortality
of their loved ones.
Then, his son Sage and his daughter Jade
asked what was wrong with their grandmother,
who has colon cancer, and their grandfather,
who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
Unable to find an educational children’s book
that wouldn’t bore his kids to sleep, Blauvelt,
administration clerk at our Jupiter, Fla., distri-
bution center, channeled his own childhood as
a “comic book geek.” And healthcare superhero
Andy Biotic™ was born.
“It’s always great to teach children in a
way where they’re not aware they’re learn-
ing,” he says. “So I created a superhero who
lives inside all of us. Kids who are dealing with
chronic illnesses or the flu want to know there’s
a hero inside them who’s fighting for them to
get better.”
Laughter is the best medicine
Blauvelt draws and writes the comic, which fea-
tures Andy Biotic, his sidekick Luke O’cyte and
his cousin Mandy Biotic, who work together to
defend Yorbody against the evil King Bacterium
and his Germies. Not only did the comic help
Sage and Jade, now 14 and 10, respectively,
understand how the body reacts to illness and
infection, but it also helped their grandparents
learn what went on inside their own bodies.
“My mom and dad love the comic, too,” says
Blauvelt, noting that he always includes a few
pop culture references and jokes for the adults
reading along.
After working on “Andy Biotic” for about
eight years, his first book, “The Infection,”
is finally complete. Thanks to Kickstarter, a
website that helps people fund their creative
projects, he was able to pay for the artwork,
initial printing and marketing. Now he’s focused
on creating the next two installments and
educating children about healthcare through
Andy and his super buddies.
“Andy’s purpose and Walgreens purpose
really are one and the same,” says Blauvelt.
“They both work to educate people
about health and help them get, stay
and live well.” ww
“It’s always great to teach
children in a way where they’re
not aware they’re learning. So I
created a superhero who lives
inside all of us. Kids who are
dealing with chronic illnesses or
the flu want to know there’s a
hero inside them who’s fighting
for them to get better.”
WESLEY BLAUVELT,
ADMINISTRATION CLERK AT THE
JUPITER, FLA., DISTRIBUTION CENTERThrough Andy Biotic’s adventures, Jupiter, Fla., administration clerk Wesley Blauvelt teaches children
how to be the hero of their very own Yorbody, as they learn how their bodies can stay healthy.

The real Super Bowl champs
Walgreens and Duane Reade scored a touchdown with the customers, patients and football fans
in town for Super Bowl XLVIII.
O
n Feb. 2, the Seattle Seahawks
defeated the favored Denver Broncos
to win the Super Bowl for the first
time in franchise history. But whether you
were rooting for the Seahawks, the Broncos
or even Bruno Mars, who was praised for
his high-energy halftime performance,
there was more than one winner of Super
Bowl XLVIII.
Walgreens and Duane Reade stores were
there for the customers, patients and fans
who were in New York and New Jersey for the
big game. A one-stop-shop for tortilla chips,
bottled water and hand warmers, among other
Super Bowl necessities, our stores helped
people stay happy, healthy and warm.
“We had so many customers come in to
purchase winter wear items, such as socks,
gloves, and hand and foot warmers,” says
Christopher Sosa, assistant store manager at
1471 Broadway in Times Square. “The Super
Bowl attractions brought in more customers
than usual, so we did our best to keep
customers happy and lines moving quickly.”
In the week leading up to the big game,
people hung around Super Bowl Boulevard,
which overlapped with the Times Square
Walgreens and a Duane Reade. With live
musical performances, toboggan rides and
more, fans didn’t want to miss any of the
festivities taking place outside, says Richard
Timko, Manhattan district manager. “We
personalized each customer’s experience by
making sure we had a timely selection of
products to meet their needs. Team members
also proactively offered solutions to customers
to make checkout quick and easy,” he adds.
Manhattan Midtown East district
manager Matt McLaughlin says that while
Manhattan is always buzzing with excitement,
the Super Bowl took things to a new level.
“Walgreens and Duane Reade were right in
the middle of it all,” he says. “Some of our
team members wore football jerseys, and we
welcomed so many new customers to our
stores who were in town for the game. What
a great way to showcase our company.”
Times Square store manager Grace
Laurendi says the increased foot traffic really
gave her team members the opportunity to
show customers what Walgreens is made of.
“It was a fantastic venue for us to showcase all
of our daily living essentials, and health and
wellness offerings,” she says. “We appreciate
the football fans who braved the cold weather
and visited our flagship location that week.
It’s a great reminder that no matter what the
occasion, we’re always here to help people get,
stay and live well.”
One woman who came in said she was
looking for “warmth … and a few hand
warmers.” When Laurendi asked her who
she was rooting for, she replied, “I’ve been
a Broncos fan since 1976, but I’ve been a
Walgreens fan all my life.” ww
New York City team members
from Walgreens and Duane
Reade were there for fans as they
flocked to Super Bowl Boulevard.
BIG GAME

The game of life
One team member knows the importance of donating life – and he has his little sister to thank for it.
By Stephanie Goldberg
J
eff Stockard has always felt at home in the
hospital. Due to a rare birth defect called
prune belly syndrome, he was born without
abdominal muscles, and suffered from frequent
urinary tract infections that kept him hospitalized
for days – sometimes weeks – at a time. Through it
all, his younger sister Lisa was by his side. The pair
played board games while Jeff’s healthier peers ran
around outside. As the siblings got older, they grew
even closer. They continued playing games, and
tried not to think about a day when his kidneys
might stop working altogether.
That day came 12 years ago. Stockard, who
was 43 at the time and working as a pharmacist,
had to have his kidneys removed. While in the
hospital, he began dialysis, a treatment for lost
kidney function, and prayed for a compatible
organ donor. Two people he knew from church
offered to get tested to see if they were a match,
but his sister had a different idea. “She said, ‘I’ll
do it,’” recalls Stockard, a Nashville-based clinical
director in Clinical Solutions. “That was such a
great moment. If Lisa didn’t want to be a donor, if
her organ didn’t work for me, if she wasn’t cleared
to live with only one kidney … that could have
been the end of me. It can take a long time to find
a match. I don’t know if I could have waited for
someone else.”
A network of opportunity
As a clinician who has undergone a kidney
transplant, Stockard is in a unique position to
help the pharmacy staffs at our 55 transplant
specialty network locations, which focus on the
heart, lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys. Like
our other specialty networks for HIV, hepatitis
C and oncology, pharmacists at transplant
locations work collaboratively with transplant
centers and are trained to care for patients who
have complicated medication, counseling and
insurance needs.
“It’s not uncommon for some transplant
patients to take between 10 and 12 drugs a day,”
says Stockard. “And these medications aren’t
regularly stocked at all our pharmacies. We’re
building this network to make sure transplant
recipients are getting what they need. If
something happens and they need emergency
medications, we can help them.”
For the win
Stockard considers himself a success story, and
he’s passionate about sharing his experience
with patients, whether they’re waiting for an
organ, having complications after a transplant
or on the road to recovery. “He acts as a
consultant to the development of the program,
helping communicate what patients are going
through to pharmacists,” says Zina Berry,
director of integration home care in Specialty
and Infusion. “He knows what to ask from a
pharmacist’s perspective, as well as what a patient
expects and needs.”
Our transplant specialty network locations
also emphasize the importance of organ
donation, especially during National Donate
Life Month each April. According to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services,
while about 79 people across the country receive
transplants each day, about 18 people die each
day waiting for transplants due to a lack of
donated organs. Meanwhile, every 10 minutes,
someone else is added to the waiting list. “I’m
lucky to have someone who volunteered to go
through pain for me,” says Stockard. “The bond I
have with my sister is indescribable.”
Except for the occasional urinary tract
infection, Stockard says he feels great. He and
his sister are closer than ever, too. He still hasn’t
developed an affinity for shopping, despite her
favorite joke that she passed the “shopaholic”
gene to him through her kidney. But while he
takes a pass on trips to the mall, he’d never turn
down a good, old-fashioned board game with his
little sister. ww

board games together when they
were growing up, as Stockard’s

ORGAN DONATION

Different backgrounds, same mission
Walgreens new Regional Diversity Councils help drive the localization of diversity and inclusion
across the company.
By Sylvia Alston
A
s part of Walgreens commitment to
communities where HIV is prevalent,
team members from the Tampa market
participated in National Black HIV/AIDS
Awareness Day on Feb. 7, for the fifth year in
a row. Lead HIV pharmacist Ngozi Benyard
organized the event at 2916 E. Fletcher Ave. in
Tampa, Fla., bringing together 10 local AIDS
service organizations with four common goals:
get educated, get tested, get involved and get
treated. During the event, agencies such as
Connect To Protect, Friends of the Festival and
REACHUP provided educational materials.
The Hillsborough County Health Department
offered gonorrhea, chlamydia and rapid HIV
testing. And Walgreens pharmacists, along
with nursing students from South University,
administered blood pressure tests, glucose
screenings and flu shots.
“Events like these are great for the com-
munity, and the business,” says Orlando market
vice president and Southern Operation Diversity
Council chair Marlin Hutchens. “Thom Isbon,
Tampa South district pharmacy supervisor and
Southern council member, brought this oppor-
tunity to our attention. In addition to partnering
with local organizations, the councils intend to
raise awareness about diversity and inclusion
across the company, and help team members
understand that Walgreen really is, and wants to
be, inclusive.”
Last year, the Office of Diversity &
Inclusion launched four regional Diversity
Councils: Western, chaired by Seattle market vice
president Sue Bandurraga; Eastern, chaired by
New Jersey market vice president Tim Anhorn;
Midwestern, chaired by Tennessee market vice
president Connie Latta, and Southern, chaired
by Hutchens. Senior leadership nominated team
members for each council to help bridge the gaps
between business units, races, ethnicities, genders
and more. The councils offer members more
ways to demonstrate Walgreens commitment to
diversity and inclusion, and reinforce our cultural
beliefs by integrating diverse perspectives that
help drive our strategies.
“The councils are charged with applying
a regional lens to diversity and inclusion, and
identifying strategic opportunities specific to
their markets, businesses, workforces, customers
and patients,” says Melissa Donaldson, director
of diversity networks in Diversity & Inclusion.
“This year, the councils will develop action plans
to address challenges in their regions around
workforce and workplace, supplier diversity,
community relations, and marketing and com-
munications. They’ll also engage senior leaders
and local team members in that work.”
Change, change, change
“From the first time the Western council met,”
says Bandurraga, “the feeling has been pretty uni-
versal that we’re eager to roll up our sleeves and
deliver.” Bandurraga has always worked to drive
the importance of diversity in the workplace,
which is something she says her mother didn’t
have the opportunity to do. Her mom was fired
in the 1950s simply for being pregnant. “We’ve
come a long way in many respects,” she says, “but
we still have quite a ways to go.”
One reason for change is because companies
like Walgreens, as well as people like Benyard,
Hutchens and Bandurraga, demonstrate the
value of diversity and inclusion. “Including
everyone is definitely the right and human thing
to do – but it’s also the business thing to do,”
says Steve Pemberton, divisional vice president
and chief diversity officer. “The ‘face’ of our
customers is becoming more and more diverse.
And recognizing this fact gives us a competitive
advantage because we can offer solutions that
meet the needs of all our customers. Walgreens
already has a history of inclusion, and these new
councils will help focus that advantage.” ww
Several of our pharmacists, including
members of the Southern Operation
Diversity Council, teamed up with local
AIDS service organizations for a recent
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
event at a Walgreens in Tampa, Fla.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

You’re about to get a little more of your
day back. This year, we’re replacing
more than 55,000 computers and
scanners in our stores and offices. The
upgrade – called Next Generation Desktop – will
ensure all company workstations are operat-
ing on the same platform: Windows 7, with
Internet Explorer 10 (IE10). By providing team
members with a modernized desktop environ-
ment and enhanced tech support, we’ll be able
to keep up with technological advances and
future company growth.
“We’ve invested in a sweeping upgrade
across the company, giving our team members
the latest in technology for an enhanced experi-
ence with the tools they need to do their work,”
says Tim Theriault, senior vice president and
chief information, innovation and improve-
ment officer.
Sleep mode gets a wake-up call
The upgrade is already in progress at the cor-
porate campus. Additional non-store locations,
such as distribution centers, Walgreens Infu-
sion and Respiratory Services locations, and the
Customer Care Centers, will begin the upgrade
this spring, followed closely by the front of our
stores. Deployment to our pharmacies, includ-
ing corporate pharmacy team members, will
begin this fall.
What team members can expect follow-
ing the Windows 7 rollout is less time spent
waiting for machines or programs to boot up,
less time spent getting out of the computer’s
“sleep mode,” and increased battery life for
laptops. Corporate users and store management
will also notice better search capabilities when
looking for specific keywords in documents
and emails.
As team members start using the new
Web browser, IE10, they’ll see faster loading
of Web and intranet pages, faster search
times and fewer crashes when using the
browser’s “tabs” feature. In addition, IE10 of-
fers greater information security because, by
default, it won’t allow websites to collect user
information. As part of the rollout, scanners
that don’t work effectively with the new
computers and software will be replaced in
the near future.
Virtually helpful
If a computer does stop working, Next Genera-
tion Desktop gives store team members the
option to let a remote technician take a look at
the malfunctioning computer. If the issue re-
quires a rebuild of the machine, the technician
can initiate a remote rebuild, and the worksta-
tion can be recreated in minutes – all without a
physical visit.
What’s even better about Next Generation
Desktop is that problems involving compatibil-
ity – when a computer can’t run new software,
or can’t communicate with another computer
that has new software – will be greatly reduced
by having standardized hardware, software
and configurations across all computers in the
company. That means fewer calls to technicians
in the first place, and more productivity for
team members.
We’ve got your back
As all this new technology rolls out this year,
we also have to make sure team members are
able to use it effectively. Prior to each location’s
upgrade, effected team members will receive
“countdown” communications to guide them
through the process, including checklists and
job aids that will help them prepare for the
upgrade and get up and running successfully
after it launches.
Fit for the future
One of the biggest benefits of this year’s
upgrade won’t be felt until several years down
the road. That’s because the current upgrade
provides a much more modern and flexible
technology infrastructure than we’ve had in
the past.
“Next Generation Desktop sets the stage for
a quicker, easier delivery of future technology
upgrades,” says Theriault. “By making this
switch now, we’re positioning Walgreens to
lead the way in retail, health and wellness
technology – not just now, but in the future
as well.” ww
Make way for Windows 7
With the Next Generation Desktop upgrade comes
better, faster technology, so you can be more
productive – both today and in the future.

Want to give back, but don’t know where to start?
Let us break down your options.
By Maisie Sparks
P
art of our commitment to help people get, stay
and live well extends to the communities where
we live and work. No matter if you’re giving your
time, talent or money, you’re providing needed
relief, assistance and funds that make lives better. Last
year, our stores participated in 20,000 community events –
totaling more than 860,000 volunteer hours.
With three ways to donate, five Way to Well partners, five
Charity Choice options and a number of other organizations
we partner with, giving back is easy – but not always
simple. Use this Give Guide to help you navigate the
charitable waters at Walgreens.

A HERITAGE OF GIVING
Company founder Charles R. Walgreen
Sr. started the Walgreen Benefit Fund
in 1939 with $50,000 from his will.
In 2013, nearly $2 million in grants
were given to more than 1,300 team
members and retirees. The grants do
not have to be paid back.
ANGELS WANTED
Imerman Angels, an organization that
works to make sure no one battles cancer
alone, is one way team members who are
cancer survivors can offer their support.
As a Mentor Angel, you’re matched with
a person who’s fighting the same type of
cancer you’ve overcome. Imerman Angels
also matches family and friends of cancer
fighters with other experienced caregivers.
For more information on how to become a
Mentor Angel, or if you know someone who
might benefit from empathetic support,
go to imermanangels.org.
YOU’VE GOT SKILLS – VOLUNTEER THEM
Accountant, attorney, tutor, project leader? You may have just the right skill to
team up with an organization in need of your expertise. Team members in our
Finance department work with Ladder Up, a nonprofit organization that helps
individuals and families from underserved communities file tax returns, fill out
college financial aid applications and plan for their financial future. And through
the Walgreens Pro Bono Initiative, Walgreens attorneys provide free legal
services to people who need legal assistance, but can’t afford it. By partnering with
organizations such as the National Immigrant Justice Center, Cabrini-Green Legal
Aid and the Center for Disability and Elder Law, they help individuals understand
and take advantage of their legal rights.
CHARITY CHOICE
If each Walgreens team member donated at
least $1 per paycheck through Charity Choice,
we’d raise $4.8 million per year for our Charity
Choice partners. Walgreens Charity Choice
program allows team members to make payroll
donations to the ACS, AHA, JDRF, United
Way and the Walgreen Benefit Fund. These
organizations focus on improving the health
and wellness of our communities, and
the Walgreen Benefit Fund provides
financial support to team members
experiencing financial hardship. Learn
more at charitychoice.walgreens.com.
WALK THIS WAY,
AND THIS WAY, AND THIS WAY…
Walk with one of our five Way to Well partners: American Cancer
Society (ACS), American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Heart
Association (AHA), JDRF and Susan G. Komen. Walgreens Way to
Well Commitment is a four-year, $100 million platform that provides
educational support and preventive resources with these worthy
organizations, all of which have a strong focus on prevention and early
detection of diseases. Team members offer additional support by walking
or running in partner events throughout the year, most of which are free
of charge to Walgreens team members. Last year, more than 14,000 team
members participated in Way to Well walks and runs, raising more than
$2.2 million for our partners. Visit Walgreens.com/waytowell for
more information.
MAKE YOUR
DOLLARS COUNT
With the hundreds of charities
that ask for funds by phone,
mail or at the door, it can be
difficult to choose where to
give. One of the best ways is
to start with organizations you
know or those that have served
you, your family or a friend. If
you’re unfamiliar with a char-
ity, give yourself time to check
it out. Almost all charities have
a website and are just as appre-
ciative of a check that comes
later by mail. You can research
charities online at Charity
Navigator, GuideStar and BBB
Wise Giving Alliance. ww
SHARE YOUR SERVICES
Many nonprofits have small staffs and are often in
need of helping hands to manage seasonal filing and
organizing, or to assist with skilled activities, such as
tax preparation or legal services. If you want to serve
a community organization with your talents, contact
your community leader or manager. He or she may
be able to suggest nonprofits in your area that are in
the greatest need of your services.
STEP IT UP
When you walk or run, remember to
keep track of your healthy activity at
Steps for Balance® Rewards. You’ll
earn 20 points for each mile you
walk or run. For details on walks
and runs in your community, go

W
hen some people think of going “off-
grid,” they may picture a hippie living in
an earth-sheltered house in the country,
growing his own food, milking his goat and
pedaling a stationary bicycle that powers a single com-
pact-fluorescent light bulb. That’s certainly one extreme.
Our “Net Zero” store in Evanston, Ill., doesn’t claim
to be “off-grid” — it’s still connected to the regular power
supply. But this special store does what we believe no
other retailer has been able to do: produce at least as
much energy as it uses. The term Net Zero refers to
the fact that the net energy expenditure at this store is
predicted to be zero after one year.
Walgreens is showing the industry what it looks
like when the retail scene goes green.

Customer service associate Karen Brown
(right) shows a customer the organic product
selection at our Net Zero store in Evanston,
Ill. The store uses solar panels, wind turbines
and geothermal technology to produce energy
equal to or greater than it consumes.
Este artículo está disponible en Español en “StoreNet”.

But this Net Zero store does more than eliminate its own carbon footprint. It’s
also the first Walgreens to bring together all the innovative “green” technologies
we have in place at other stores and facilities, to show how they can work together
in a single building. It’s a visible, visit-able, symbol of our sustainability strategy.
“Walgreens has been using sustainable technologies for years,” says Jamie
Meyers, manager of sustainability in Facilities. “Solar panels, wind turbines,
LED lighting, geothermal technology and more are already in use at different
facilities throughout Walgreens. As we looked at all the ways we’re helping
customers and team members live well and be green, we asked ourselves, ‘What
would happen if we put everything together in one location?’”
The answer now lives at 635 Chicago Ave. in Evanston. The Net Zero store
is, naturally, accessible by at least two forms of public transportation: the “El”
train (for “elevated”) and the Metra commuter train.
“I absolutely love working here and telling our customers about all the new
features that make our store special,” says 25-year Walgreens veteran, customer
service associate Karen Brown. “With the solar panels, windmills and recycling
station, this store is making history.”
Store manager Catie Brazda Stimmel jokes that she may have been recruited
to work at the Net Zero store because her boss would frequently find her saving
office paper by printing on both sides. “When we opened last November, I loved
to stand at the front door and greet customers because their jaws just hit the
ground when they looked around,” she says. “My favorite feature is the landscap-
ing, which is made up of plants native to the region that don’t require any water-
ing beyond what they get naturally from rain and snow.”

SUSTAINABLE SAVINGS
For as long as we’ve had one, Walgreens sustainability strategy has been
focused on finding ways to save money. “Since the very beginning of
the company, Walgreens has looked at how to lower the costs of doing
business,” says Meyers. “That’s nothing new. Investing in new technolo-
gies, building stores that will last a long time—these are the things we’ve
always done to save money. But our sustainability strategy now looks
at ways we can not only save money through environmentally friendly
initiatives, but increase profit as well.”
Going green may not immediately seem like a profit driver. But,
explains Meyers, doing the right thing environmentally can drive traffic
in addition to lowering costs. “For customers who are very concerned
about the environment—including many millennials who make
important purchasing decisions for themselves and their young families—
a company that does the right thing for the planet is a company they’ll go
out of their way to do business with,” he says.
As you approach our Net Zero store in
Evanston, Ill., you’ll spot two 35-foot-tall
wind turbines spinning outside the storefront,
which can be seen from down the street.
Visit the Employee Purchase Program page
on StoreNet (go to “Policy Procedure”),
WalNet or The Wall (for those who have access)
for information on how Walgreens team
members, family and friends can lower their
home electricity bills with a reduced rate on
deregulated electricity.
Interested in investigating solar power for your
own home? Walgreens has partnered with
EnergySage, a company that helps consumers
navigate the solar shopping process.
EnergySage has a tool that homeowners
can use to identify and price out contractors
for solar systems on their homes. For more
information, visit energysage.com/walgreens.
GREEN AT HOME

For our January/February QA issue, Kristin
Hahn, head photo specialist at 4655 E. Sunrise
Drive in Tucson, Ariz., wanted to know, “In
Walgreens efforts to ‘go green,’ will we ever be able
to give customers the option to have their receipt
emailed to them instead of printed?”
The short answer is yes! Beginning in March,
Balance® Rewards members have had the option
to have their receipt printed at the register, sent
electronically to the email address they have on file
with Balance Rewards, or both. By tying this new
receipt delivery option to Balance Rewards, we’re
also streamlining the process for team members
at checkout. As long as customers entered an
email address when they registered for Balance
Rewards, they won’t have to re-enter it in the store
when opting to receive a digital receipt. Customers
simply click the button on the pin pad for the type
of receipt they prefer.
E-receipts have the potential to reduce paper use in
our stores and cut back on littering in the entry-
way and parking lot. They’re also great for digitally
savvy customers who want to easily keep track of
purchases, especially pharmacy purchases they
might need to look up when filing taxes. In future
enhancements of the program, customers may
even have the option to select electronic receipts as
their default delivery method so they don’t need to
choose how to receive a receipt at each visit.
Paper or email? It’s your choice.Electronic receipts reduce paper and help customers keeptrack of their purchases.
Meyers refers to the common sight of a Walgreens and a competitor
across the street from one another. “Walgreens differentiates itself in
many ways, and we want sustainability to become a differentiator that
customers can name about us,” he says. “Then, when they have a choice
between turning left for our competitor and right for Walgreens, maybe
the fact that Walgreens is an environmental leader in the industry will
make them turn right instead.”
LED-ING THE WAY
Walgreens wants to be known as an industry leader when it comes to
incorporating environmentally friendly technology. To get us there, we’re
in the implementation phase of many ideas and programs that other
companies are just beginning to look into.
For example, all our new stores have LED lighting, both inside and
out. According to EnergyStar, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
program, LED bulbs last longer and use at least 75 percent less energy
than incandescent bulbs, saving the company money in both mainte-
nance and electricity costs. “Not many retailers in our segment are doing
all LED,” says Meyers. “They may be thinking about it, but we’ve already
done the research and are moving forward as a leader.”
In addition, our sustainability program called PURE Walgreens,
which stands for People Using Resources Efficiently, promotes the
health and wellness of our planet and focuses on helping customers get,
stay and live well. Efforts also focus on making Walgreens a leader in
resource conservation, carbon emissions reduction and waste diversion.
Through the program, we plan to introduce sustainability reports at
the store level so stores can see their individual energy use and work
to reduce it.
“Energy isn’t just a fixed cost of doing business,” says Meyers. “It’s an
aspect of doing business that can be improved, just like sales or any other
metric. By showing stores where they stand compared to their peers, we
hope some friendly competition will encourage team members to make
Walgreens even greener. Helping people live well through sustainability
is something we all play a part in.” ww
“For customers who are very concerned
about the environment — including many
millennials who make important purchasing
decisions for themselves and their young
families — a company that does the right
thing for the planet is a company they’ll
go out of their way to do business with.”

he worked as a store manager. He retired more than a

never had a customer I couldn’t eventually win over.”

SERVICE AWARDS

A carnival for a cause
Team members at 2401
S. Brentwood Blvd. in
Brentwood, Mo., (below)
recently hosted their third Fun Day carnival
to benefit JDRF, one of our five Way to Well
partners. At the event, which took place in
the store parking lot, team members raised
a total of $1,670 for JDRF – $870 more than
they raised for the organization in 2012.
Senior pharmacy technician Tabitha Berry,
shift leader Janet Fitzgerald and store
manager Rick Greer (who has since moved
to our store at 9320 Lackland Rd. in Over-
land, Mo.) took the lead on the event by urg-
ing members of the community to come out,
play carnival games, enter raffles and support
the cause.
Taking it to the streets
A picture is worth a thousand
words, which is why team
members at 481 S. Ventura Rd.
in Oxnard, Calif., snapped a
photo (right) of the remodeled
Walgreens warehouse delivery
truck that recently visited their store.
Painted light blue, a color that has become
synonymous with Walgreens and healthcare,
the truck was outfitted with our purpose
statement. Assistant store manager Darren
LaRusso and head photo specialist Jeff
Frash even posed for a picture with the truck.
“We feel proud to be living a purpose that’s
plastered on a truck,” says LaRusso. “Helping
people get, stay and live well is something
that only happens in one place – at the corner
of happy and healthy!”

AROUND THE COUNTRY

Alex Gourlay, executive vice president, president of Customer
Experience and Daily Living, is one of our newest executives –
though, he’s no stranger to community pharmacy or store operations.
A pharmacist by profession, he began his career in healthcare early,
working at Boots at the age of 16 in his native Scotland, selling health
and wellness products behind the “chemist counter.”
Gourlay started at Walgreens on Oct. 1, 2013, transitioning from his
previous post as CEO of Alliance Boots Health Beauty division. He has
been learning more and more about the company every day, from culture
to Well Experience to our strategic journey. We asked Gourlay to reveal
10 things that will help you learn more about him:
1I’m Scottish, and one of my
favorite, yet most unusual,
phrases from back home is, “In
the name of the wee man.” The
phrase means, “I don’t believe it,”
and my granny would always say
it when I was growing up.
2This winter
weather has been
cold and snowy, but with
the Protect Perfect
Intense Moisturizer for
men, my favorite Boots
No7 product, it has been
a bit more bearable.
3Since I began in
October, the number of stores
I’ve visited from coast-to-coast is
getting very close to triple digits.
4The greatest strength I
bring to Walgreens is my
commitment to the company’s
purpose. You don’t move your
family across continents in the
way I’ve done without having that
passion to help people get, stay
and live well.
5I’ve become quite an
avid Dunkin’ Donuts fan.
I love their coffee – and their
donuts, too!
6I’m a member of the
Royal Pharmaceutical
Society. It sounds very formal,
but it just means I’m part of a
professional body for pharmacists
in England, Scotland and Wales
that’s endorsed by the Queen.
7My biggest career accom-
plishment was establishing
a strategic partnership with
Boots and Macmillan Cancer
Support, which provides medical
and emotional support for families
and individuals in the U.K. who
have cancer.
8At my first Team Member
Town Hall last November, I
mentioned that I’ve had the same
hairstyle for 37 years. It’s true.
9I’ve read a lot about Charles
R. Walgreen Sr. and his
philosophy of catering to our
customers’ needs. It’s good to
remind myself that he built this
company on friendliness and
speed, and we’re still executing
on that brilliantly more than 110
years later.
10While of course I miss
the familiarity of home,
having spent more than 50 years
in the U.K., I also miss Cadbury’s
chocolate and Jaffa Cakes.
1010THINGS YOU
DON’T KNOW
ABOUT ME:
ALEX GOURLAY
This year, we began a new series called
“10 things you don’t know about me,” featur-
ing our leaders. In each one, we’ll introduce
the leader and what he or she does, and list 10
things – both business and personal – that team
members may not know about them. We hope
the series helps team members get to know our
leaders, and also learn something new.
