LogiPharma, is setting a new standard for sustainability in the life sciences supply chain sector by embedding environmentally responsible practices across every part of the event, from its agenda to operations.
The event will feature a range of sustainability-focused initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental footprint while promoting industry-wide change. One key aspect is LogiPharma’s collaboration with One Tree Planted, an organisation dedicated to global reforestation. Through this partnership, LogiPharma will offset the carbon emissions from groups of five or more primary delegates by investing in climate projects based on the emissions caused by air travel to the event.
Central to the sustainability theme is the Sustainability Zone, a dedicated stage that will focus on actionable solutions. Experts will showcase innovative technologies and strategies that are already reducing emissions and improving operational efficiency in life sciences supply chains. Key topics will include how smart technology in packaging and transport is revolutionising the industry, and how sustainable logistics practices can support long-term environmental goals.
The agenda also features a series of keynotes and panel discussions addressing real-world sustainability challenges. One notable session, “Uniting on Sustainability,” will explore how companies can collaborate on pre-competitive initiatives to tackle common challenges in the supply chain. The session “Less Than a Container Load (LCL)” will look at the environmental impact of logistics optimisation, offering strategies to balance operational efficiency with sustainability. A crucial focus will also be on Scope 3 emissions, with multiple sessions providing frameworks and solutions for addressing indirect emissions across global supply chains.
Top sustainability-focused speakers will take centre stage during the event, including Joydeep Ganguly, SVP Global Operations & Chief Sustainability Officer at Gilead Sciences; Maggie Short, Global Procurement Lead Sustainability at Smith & Nephew; Walter Soriano, Head of Global Logistics Sustainability & Market Intelligence at Pfizer; and Gema Gonzalez, Director Global Supply Chain & Logistics at Eli Lilly. These industry leaders will share insights on integrating sustainability practices and how companies can take actionable steps to meet their environmental goals.
“We’re committed to working alongside events like LogiPharma to ensure that sustainability is not just a trend, but a key priority for the industry,” said Sofia Wiwen-Nilsson, Head of Marketing & Communications, Envirotainer. “The opportunity to be part of a platform that fosters collaboration and shares actionable solutions is invaluable. We know that it’s through these partnerships and practical steps that we can drive meaningful change.”
Beyond the agenda, the event is actively minimising its environmental impact through a series of operational changes. Plastic bottles will be eliminated entirely, and paper usage will be significantly reduced. All agendas will be digital, available through the event app, and printed materials such as seat drops will be removed. Menus will no longer feature beef, reflecting the event’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint through sustainable food options. Public transport routes will be promoted to encourage attendees to travel sustainably, and the event will use recyclable, reusable, and digital signage across the venue.
Key sponsors like Envirotainer and SkyCell AG are vital to LogiPharma’s sustainability initiatives. Envirotainer provides lightweight, precision-engineered solutions for temperature-controlled logistics, helping pharma companies reduce CO2 emissions and optimise transportation, in line with industry targets.
SkyCell offers reusable hybrid containers and smart software that help pharma companies reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50%. Their sustainable solutions maintain the required reliability for the pharma sector while supporting environmental goals.
“LogiPharma is providing a platform for real change,” said Richard Ettl, CEO, SkyCell. “As a long-standing sponsor, it’s refreshing to see an event where pharma professionals discuss what’s needed next in the industry. LogiPharma brings together all stakeholders to learn how to implement solutions to achieve net zero and AI tools to eliminate temperature excursions and stock management globally.”
One of the most tangible elements of LogiPharma 2025 will be the public pledge to sustainability. At the close of the first day, attendees will be invited to make a collective commitment to implement sustainability initiatives within their own organisations. This pledge aims to foster a sense of ownership and accountability, reinforcing that sustainability is a shared responsibility within the industry.
“In a time when businesses are under increasing pressure to meet higher environmental standards, LogiPharma 2025 is showing that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword,” said Edwin Benard, Head of Healthcare Industry Vertical EU, Yusen Logistics. “By embedding sustainability into every part of the event – from keynote sessions to operational choices – LogiPharma is making a clear statement: the pharma supply chain sector is ready to lead the way in tackling the challenges of climate change.”
