#PING2025
Sustainability: What must Pharma do now?
Sustainability is no longer a "nice-to-have" - it is a business need that has fast become a top priority for leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. From drug discovery and R&D to manufacturing, supply, and distribution, every facet of the pharma ecosystem is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices.
Whether it’s Big Pharma scrutinising supply chains, customers - such as NHS England - demanding greener practices, staff prioritising sustainability, or funders linking financial support to ESG goals, the expectations are clear and growing.
Actionable strategies for a greener future
At the conference, after exploring the pressures driving sustainability, business leaders will hear about practical strategies to embed sustainability into day-to-day operations. From managing supply chains and optimising buildings to leveraging AI and driving organisational change; our focus is understanding why this issue matters and what steps to take - not filling out forms.
PING 2025 will bring together leading voices from across the pharmaceutical ecosystem to explore actionable solutions for sustainability challenges.
