Since 2016, a group of PSCI members have been working together to standardize their environmental data request to suppliers through a common set of questions, known as the PSCI Environmental Survey. The benefit is that suppliers should be receiving a common set of questions, but currently companies collect the data using different routes: some use an Excel file, and some a third-party platform.

The PSCI has now built the Environmental Survey into the PSCI platform for suppliers (called The Link). Each of the PSCI’s 50 members will now be able to use that platform to collect data from suppliers and we anticipate that many will do so. We hope that this will streamline and simplify your reporting of environmental and carbon emissions to your customers as one reply can now be shared with many customers.

Watch this webinar to learn more about the new platform and how to use it. You'll hear about:

• Data captured by the survey
• Technical aspects of the environmental survey
• How to access the PSCI Link platform
• Responding to requests to share your data from PSCI members

We were delighted to be joined by Alejandro Fiocco, Partner at Carnstone and Secretariat for the PSCI Environment Team.

Participants (including registrants who were unable to attend) are invited to share feedback about this webinar here.

Please also note that guidance about the Environmental survey is available here (the excel version is accessible here).

The webinar explored best practice wastewater treatment methods for managing the release of APIs into the environment from pharmaceutical manufacturing sites. It was delivered by renowned experts and featured case studies on novel treatment technologies.

We were delighted to be joined by the following speakers:

• Jeffrey Brenchley from Merck (MSD) (Senior Specialist, Global Safety & Environment), speaking about vacuum evaporation
• Birgit Mertens from Johnson & Johnson (Senior Principal Environment Worldwide EHS&S), speaking about ozone as pretreatment
• Jonathan Rhone from Axine Water Technologies Inc. (President and CEO), speaking about electrochemical oxidation

Please also note that registration for the second session of our supplier conferences is open until 17 September. Topics covered will include climate change (GHG) & sustainable packaging ; sampling and analysing APIs in wastewater with case studies ; a case study on Controlling API Releases; environmental hazards of drugs and case analysis ; and mass balance calculations. To register, please click here for the China session and here for the India session.

Finally, we want your views! We're encouraging all suppliers to take this short survey to help the PSCI understand the impact it has on suppliers.
