Our Commitment to Sustainability

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. Running our pharma events gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impact socially, environmentally and economically.

Beyond our responsibility to make our events as sustainable as possible, we also want to support the pharmaceutical community in becoming more sustainable as an industry. Through connecting stakeholders, championing best practice and curating expert content our aim is to help solve the big challenges in our sector.
