Climate Change

Direct or indirect human activities have altered the composition of the global atmosphere and increased carbon dioxide emissions, driving up temperatures. This has led to what we often observe as more extreme weather conditions and is referred to as climate change.

The pharmaceutical industry contributes to a healthy environment while demonstrating leadership in mitigating climate change. Our activities support the ambition the European Commission expressed through their European Climate policies. EFPIA member companies are committed to:

Establish and further develop climate policies based on materiality and impact for individual companies, whilst addressing their entire value chains
Annually and publicly disclose progress towards co2 e reduction targets using recognised methodologies, and verified by third parties
Increase the share of renewable energy at their facilities and along the global value chains
Set science-based CO2 reduction targets
Contribute to reduced energy consumption and increased energy efficiency
