The 2020 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo will be ISPE’s first completely virtual Annual Meeting. As always, there will be great learning and networking opportunities—in fact, the digital format offers greater flexibility for attendees.
Each year, ISPE celebrates innovations and advances in pharmaceutical manufacturing technology with its Facility of the Year Awards (FOYA) program. This year, we added a new category, Social Impact, to recognize companies that developed new standards and practices to prevent drug shortages and increase patients’ access to medicine, designed new tools or techniques that reduced the cost of drug products, or accelerated a shift to sustainable facility design that has significantly reduced environmental impact.
In this point of view, Life Sciences greenfield builds, Capgemini’s life sciences manufacturing experts explores how greenfield builds—projects where facilities are constructed wholly or mostly from scratch—are helping organizations scale up production capacity, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and integrate pharma 4.0 initiatives. You’ll learn why greenfield sites are fast becoming a...
The decision to pursue net-zero facility design in manufacturing is complicated. There are significant challenges related to initial project costs, physical space constraints, and project site considerations—but also substantive benefits from operational savings, environmental impact, building brand trust, and working toward a more sustainable future.
Many organizations are on the right path to sustainability, but more can still be done— especially for setting and meeting net-zero targets. Although a commitment to net-zero operations is important for all industries, it’s particularly necessary for the pharmaceutical industry, with its high energy consumption, high water demands, and the use of solvents for manufacturing.
