The Big Debate: Sustainability, affordability and accessibility
The Big Debate: Sustainability, affordability and accessibility
6 October 2026 09:15 10:05
This session brings together industry leaders to tackle the “trilemma” facing modern pharmaceutical logistics: achieving ambitious environmental goals without compromising medicine affordability or patient accessibility. As regulatory and social pressures mount, the debate explores how to harmonize these pillars through innovation and collaboration. The discussion also examines the nuanced trade-offs within sustainability itself – balancing micro-level waste reduction with macro-level carbon impacts – to ensure that green initiatives ultimately strengthen rather than weaken the global supply chain.
