PDA Sustainability Landscape Survey

Your input is essential to support PDA's understanding of current sustainability practices.

The PDA Sustainability Steering Committee's goal is to establish global pharmaceutical sustainability best practices for the biopharmaceutical industry by promoting cooperative sourcing initiatives, reducing consumption of limited resources, and consideration for the effects of environmental shifts. The Steering Committee also supports the principles of the 3Rs to replace, reduce, and refine in choosing/using source materials.

The Steering Committee will use the information from this survey to refine the direction and focus of PDA's sustainability efforts.
