Industrial research: Drug companies must adopt green chemistry
In the past decade, many large pharmaceutical companies have moved to using green-chemistry practices for drug discovery, development and manufacturing. These firms include ours, Amgen, and others such as the Merck Group, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson and Roche. Ranking systems such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and the Pacific Sustainability Index1 track how well firms are doing.
Key Green Chemistry research areas from a pharmaceutical manufacturers’ perspective revisited
The ACS Green Chemistry Institute® Pharmaceutical Roundtable (GCIPR) was developed in 2005 to encourage the integration of green chemistry and green engineering into the pharmaceutical industry. One of the strategic priorities of the Roundtable is to inform and influence the research agenda and an early step was the publication of a paper on key green chemistry research areas (KRA) from a pharmaceutical manufacturers’ perspective. The publication was followed up with the ongoing GCIPR Research Grant Programme.
