sustainable supply chain workshop

On 18 September 2024, HCWH Europe organised a workshop on how the EU can lead the transformation of the pharmaceutical industry towards greater sustainability. Watch the recording below.

The session featured presentations and a roundtable with industry leaders, regulators, civil society organisations, and healthcare professionals discussing green chemistry practices, manufacturing upgrades, and the importance of collaboration in building a more resilient supply chain. 

Why this matters

The global pharmaceutical supply chain is essential for ensuring access to life-saving medications. However, current practices present significant sustainability challenges. Growing evidence shows that pharmaceutical pollution contaminates ecosystems, threatens biodiversity, and harms human health worldwide. The need for change is urgent and clear.

Key themes

  • Pharmaceutical pollution: a global perspective
  • Principles of sustainable procurement
  • Environmental due diligence and assessments in pharmaceuticals
  • Planning for action: roundtable discussion
