Assessing Environmental Impact of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
Consistent with the overall industry trend to reduce environmental impact in manufacturing operations, GSK’s Biopharmaceutical Product Development and Supply team have implemented sustainability initiatives to assess the environmental impact of biopharm manufacturing. Mr. Alexander Adams, from GlaxoSmithKline, will present how impact assessment during the clinical development of product and process lifecycle provides the best opportunity for reducing carbon footprint of a commercialized product. He will describe the assessment tools used by GSK and their relative strengths and weaknesses for assessing environmental impact. Additionally, Mr. Adams will share conclusions on the opportunistic areas for all biopharmaceutical manufacturers to consider when assessing and reducing the environmental impact of their manufacturing activities.
