Gerresheimer’s Post

Recently, I came across an insightful article shedding light on the environmental impact of supply chain activities especially in biopharma, it revealed that over 70% of emissions from life sciences and healthcare companies originate within their supply chains.   My biggest takeaway and what's truly inspiring here, is the proactive approach many biopharma organizations are taking to address these challenges. Through initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, improving water quality, and fostering sustainable value chains, companies are demonstrating a genuine commitment to sustainability. I encourage you to take the time to read it and reflect on it. This serves as a reminder to me that you can make a measurable and sustainable impact through strategic planning, swift action, and collaboration.  #OurPurposeImpacts #Sustainability #supplychainsustainability

🌍 Celebrating World Environment Day! 🌿 Today, on World Environment Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the vital role sustainability plays in our lives, especially within the pharmaceutical industry. As we strive to improve global health, it is equally important to ensure our practices are environmentally sustainable. In the pharmaceutical sector, we have a unique responsibility to integrate sustainability into our operations. This includes adopting green chemistry principles, reducing waste through efficient manufacturing processes, and minimizing the environmental impact of our products. By leveraging scientific advancements, we can develop innovative solutions that not only enhance patient outcomes but also protect our planet. On a personal level, we can contribute by being mindful of our consumption, reducing our carbon footprint, and embracing a lifestyle that respects and protects the environment. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Let’s commit to making every day an opportunity to nurture our planet. Happy World Environment Day! 🌱 #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #GreenChemistry #EcoFriendly #SustainableLiving

The Healthcare sector and its supply chain are responsible for nearly 5% of global emissions. Sustainable supply chain action from both private and public bodies, such as the NHS's commitment to cease purchasing from suppliers that don't have goals to reach Net Zero by 2045 or earlier, underscore the sector's growing sustainability focus. From phasing out harmful practices to promoting recycling and reusable materials, Healthcare's stakeholders are driving change. The below article from Reuters highlights that collaboration and standardization are key to empowering the sector's journey to Net Zero. https://lnkd.in/e_H6tMvj

A remarkable 93% of executives from pharma support the role of sustainability in our industry. Yes, this statistic from the CPHI Annual Survey 2023 not only showcases a significant shift towards sustainability in our industry but also highlights the rapid pace at which we're embracing these vital changes. It's a topic that's not just close to my heart but also it’s indispensable to our collective future. As an industry, we can and should embrace sustainable practices: ✔️ To begin with, the search for zero carbon emissions is more than an environmental goal; it's a moral imperative. ☞ I believe that as an industry, we must aggressively pursue strategies to reduce our carbon footprint. This could range from energy-efficient practices to embracing renewable energy sources. ☞ Even the adoption of green chemistry can revolutionise our impact on the planet. ☞ By rethinking our processes and formulas, we can significantly reduce the ecological footprint of our products and operations. It’s an exciting challenge that combines innovation with responsibility. 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴! How to forget about it? It’s no news that moving towards sustainable, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging can drastically reduce waste and contribute to a healthier planet. 🟢 Embracing a circular economy model is not just eco-friendly; it’s also economically sound. A model where waste is minimised, and resources are reused can transform our industry's impact on the environment. To add on to it energy efficiency in manufacturing goes hand in hand with sustainability. This will help us achieve the dual goals of operational excellence and environmental stewardship. As an industry, we have the opportunity to drive change and make a lasting impact. Let's work together to make sustainability not just a part of our strategy but the foundation of our industry's future. 🤝🏻 #SustainabilityInPharma #EcoFriendlyInnovation #FutureOfPharma #GreenInitiatives #GreenChemistry

On this #EarthDay, we're reflecting on how you can build a culture of sustainable mindsets, especially in pharma labs. At our most recent Lab Facilities Summit East, Liana R Juarez, Senior Manager, Lab Operations, Be Biopharma shared her insights into 'Building a Culture of Sustainable Mindsets: Developing an EHS Strategy for Pharma Labs'. As the presentation highlights, an effective Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) strategy is key. It integrates sustainable practices into the organizational culture, reducing environmental impact while improving safety. Some key elements: - Employee engagement through training, awareness and empowerment - Leadership commitment to modeling sustainable behaviors - Continuous improvement by measuring impact and optimizing - Rightsizing initiatives based on impact vs. investment analysis The case study showcased high-impact, low-effort wins like community education, green chemistry purchasing, recycling and auditing cold storage/equipment. Even small steps like clothing swaps and composting make a difference. As Liana states "Start small. Focus on high impact, low implementation efforts" By prioritizing initiatives strategically, we can drive cultural change towards environmental stewardship.
