The Race TO GREENER PHARMA


A greener pharmaceutical industry will not be built through sustainability reports alone. It will be built in the factories where medicines are made. Across Asia-Pacific (APAC), this is becoming an increasingly important test for the industry as rising resource costs, climate risks, customer expectations and regulatory scrutiny converge. For Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations (CDMOs), the challenge is particularly significant: the choices made on the factory floor — from energy and water use to solvents, waste, production technologies and sourcing — can determine the environmental footprint of medicines long before they reach patients. With manufacturing estimated to account for around 80 per cent of a pharmaceutical company’s environmental footprint, the stakes are high. So, what does greener pharmaceutical manufacturing actually look like in practice? We have examined the latest Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and sustainability reports of eight leading APAC CDMOs to find out where the industry is making real progress, and where the biggest challenges remain.
