Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences
Map API-level carbon and meet sustainability obligations at speed.
ICH Q9 and Scope 3 Category 11 are raising the bar on pharmaceutical sustainability. CarbonBright automates PAS 2090-compliant LCAs across your product portfolio — from API synthesis to packaged dose.
Why Pharma and Life Sciences Companies Need Product-Level Carbon Data
NHS and Health System Procurement
The NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap plans to require carbon footprints of individual products from 2028, and from 2030 only suppliers showing progress can qualify for contracts. PAS 2090, co-sponsored by NHS England, sets how those footprints are calculated.
PCF Requests from Pharma Customers
Brand owners are asking their API, excipient, packaging and CDMO suppliers for product carbon footprints of what they buy. Suppliers that respond with credible, PAS 2090-aligned PCFs are being favored in RFPs and renewals.
Comparable Footprints for Every SKU
PAS 2090 lets buyers compare medicines like for like, so every strength, pack size and presentation needs its own footprint. Hand-built LCAs one product at a time can't keep pace — covering a portfolio takes an automated, database-backed approach.
The CarbonBright Tools Pharma Teams Rely On
Product Carbon Footprint
Calculate a science-backed ISO 14067 PCF for every API, excipient, and finished dosage form. Respond to customer PCF data requests with verified numbers — not spend-based estimates.
