Abstract
Corporate social responsibility has been in our business language for years. Is it a driver of business results or a corporate mandate for compliance? From the shop floor to the board room we are all becoming more aware of the responsibilities we have in the area of sustainability. What strategy will we use to drive “green” practices to the pharmaceutical sector? Will industry drive it or will our customers demand it. Should we be an early adopter or is it better to adopt a wait and see mentality? Where does
sustainability fall on your overall strategy and priorities?
