Focus Area Environmental Sustainability (ESG)

Turning sustainability into an access advantage

Healthcare contributes ≈ 4.4% of global CO₂ emissions—a figure regulators and payers increasingly prioritise. European net-zero targets and the NHS’s “Evergreen” supplier criteria already reward low-carbon, low-waste solutions, and several HTA bodies are piloting ways to reflect environmental impact in their guidance. For life science companies, sustainability is no longer a side note; it is a strategic market access consideration.

Green pills background

What payers are asking for - a snapshot

MEAT beyond price: Nordic and Benelux tenders now award points for carbon footprint, packaging waste and ISO 14001 certification.

HTA exploration: Agencies such as NICE and CADTH have begun consultations on integrating environmental criteria into assessments.

I am impressed by the quality of the report already, and the opportunity it might give us.
