In Nigeria, Imperial generates revenue through the distribution of pharmaceutical products which creates a significant impact on the lives of people. Enabling timely access to safe, reliable pharmaceutical products at affordable prices reduces socio-economic losses for Nigeria.
In F2019 and F2020, a total value of NGN 3.4 trillion was created in Nigeria through saving an estimated 35,800 lives, with the supply of wholesale priced medicines realising cost savings to society of NGN 59.5 billion.
We support our partners, sub-contractors and service providers
The
success of Imperial’s operations is dependent on the support of an
external network of trusted, accredited sub contractors, suppliers and
service providers, including enterprise and supplier development partners.
This, including taxes paid, created R36.2
billion of direct and indirect value in South
Africa for F2019 and F2020, supporting:
- 14 560 partner jobs
- 70% preferential procurement spend with
B BBEE compliant suppliers
Contribution to the Nigerian economy on this front, totalled a value creation of NGN 126.2 billion, supporting over 200 jobs.
We harness the power of digital
Through digitalization and new technologies, we are both improving
efficiencies, safety and environmental performance for ourselves and our
clients. Harnessing real-time visibility of our trucks and customer supply
chains, our data-driven insights enable continuous improvement.
Control towers
deployed in South Africa allow for
20%-30% reduction in inventory levels, a 75%
reduction in waste and up to 1% reduction in
the cost of goods sold.
In F2020:
- We avoided over 5,700 tons of greenhouse
gas emissions
- Reduced clean water demand by 12.8 million
litres (3.9% of demand) through recycling
- Met 2% of our electricity demand through
renewables
In Nigeria, Imperial has also invested in generating site efficiencies by using LED bulbs, reducing dependence on diesel generators, harvesting rainwater and optimising space.
We contribute to our communities
We
contribute to the development of our communities and countries of
operation through impactful CSI initiatives, focusing on providing access
to quality and affordable healthcare services, increasing the reach of
quality education and improving road safety.

libraries via the Imperial and Motus Community
Trust
