Introduction
Organizations in the pharmaceuticals industry are under increasing pressure to improve ESG and sustainability performance from internal leadership and employees to external stakeholders such as investors, creditors, policymakers, supply chain partners, and consumers. This presents many challenges depending on your internal competencies and knowledge of material reporting topics and KPIs for the pharma industry.
SGS has researched the ESG and sustainability reporting activities of the top 100 pharma companies in the USA and Canada (by revenue). Our team will be presenting those results and noticeable gaps in comparison to what frameworks, standards, and rating agencies are asking from the industry (as delivered in our previous webinar, Pharma & ESG: The Sustainability Mandate).
Once you understand your own unique business drivers and challenges, it is crucial to see how you compare against your direct competitors and industry peers. Only then can you focus on what truly matters: leveraging your strengths and overcoming your weaknesses.
