Safe for the patient, sustainable for the planet
Safe for the patient – sustainable for the planet. Our ambition is to solve this challenge and advocate for product and supply chain solutions minimizing environmental impacts with no compromise on patient safety.
Every minute, about 25’000 injections are relying on safe primary packaging solutions delivered by SCHOTT Pharma. A resilient supply of our products is our central contribution to global health.
Next to this, we as SCHOTT Pharma strive to minimize the environmental impact which comes with our products. “Up to 80% of a product’s life cycle environmental impact is determined by its design” is pointed out by experts of Siemens in their Harvard Business Review article. It is about choosing the right materials, but also thinking about how products can be treated at their end-of-life. Therefore, our stewardship for sustainable products starts from product design, supply chain optimization, transport packaging concepts to circularity partnerships and collaboration for industry change. Industry exchange via public presentations or co-organization of events are important means to enlarge the impact of our activities and to fight the global challenge of climate change.
