As sustainability becomes a leading initiative across the pharmaceutical industry, sponsors are looking for manufacturing partners that can develop their products efficiently while minimizing their ecological footprint. It is a delicate and, at times, difficult balance to strike. At Lonza, we prioritize being open with customers and colleagues about how we are building sustainability into the DNA of our business, because it takes a collaborative effort to combat the effects of climate change. As part of our Vision ZERO initiative, we are taking concrete steps to realize our goals of reducing emissions, raw material consumption, and waste.

As a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), we are committed to supporting our customers as they deliver innovative therapies to enable a healthier world. Contributing to a healthier world also entails reducing our ecological footprint. A major part of this effort is solvent recovery and recycling, which stands to have a huge impact on carbon emission reduction efforts.
