Welcome to the ESG in Life Sciences Summit West!
Mastering ESG Compliance & Strategic Sustainability in Life Sciences in 2025
As ESG becomes a key differentiator for securing business and investment, life sciences companies are ramping up sustainability efforts - expanding teams, funding new initiatives, and integrating ESG into corporate strategy. Yet, with shifting global reporting requirements, the new administration’s stance on sustainability, and the impact of CSRD on U.S. operations, many companies are struggling to find the golden ticket on how they can future-proof ESG initiatives and ensure accuracy in reporting?
At the same time, mounting pressure from investors, consumers, and employees to accelerate environmental and social initiatives is leaving many searching for the most effective strategies to navigate the evolving ESG landscape.
