Water
At Sterling Pharmaceuticals, responsible water management means using water efficiently and safely throughout each stage of our product lifecycle. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our pharmaceuticals and addressing any potential risks to natural water sources. Our aim is to practise sustainable water stewardship wherever we operate, supporting efforts to ensure adequate and safe water for communities and ecosystems.
We recognise the importance of protecting water quality and preventing pharmaceutical compounds from impacting aquatic ecosystems. While most pharmaceuticals in the environment result from patient excretion and improper disposal of unused medicines, small quantities may also originate from manufacturing and R&D facilities.
We take proactive steps to manage pharmaceutical discharges from our own production sites and those of our suppliers. Water is essential to our production process, from aiding in formulation to supporting cleaning and cooling. To protect natural ecosystems, we treat wastewater carefully to remove any residual substances before discharge.
Sustainable Pharma Solutions
Our commitment to sustainability extends to the very design and assessment of our medicines. Pharmaceuticals are potent even in small amounts, which serves patients effectively but requires careful management to protect the environment. We assess all new products for potential long-term environmental impacts as part of their regulatory evaluation. Legacy products also undergo targeted environmental testing to prioritise safety and reduce ecological risk over time.
Waste
Sterling Pharmaceuticals is committed to reducing its environmental impact through a responsible waste management strategy. Our approach prioritises preventing and reducing waste at its source, followed by recycling wherever possible. Safe disposal is always a last resort. By focusing on minimising waste generation, we aim to keep our environmental footprint low. Sterling Pharmaceuticals routinely monitors our waste handling practices and audits our trusted waste contractors to ensure responsible waste management at each stage.
