In the fast-paced world of clinical research, sustainability has become a top priority. With 92% of the global economy committed to net-zero pledges, up to 90% of carbon emissions remain beyond these companies’ direct control. Therefore, the selection of the right partner is essential to support sustainability goals.
In this insightful webinar, the expert speakers explore innovative solutions and strategies for reducing emissions while maintaining the highest standards of quality and outcomes in clinical trials. They will focus on the critical issue of Scope 3 indirect emissions generated by a company’s value chain and discuss what contract research organizations (CROs) need from Scope 3 providers, the obstacles they face and the creative strategies to overcome these challenges.
The speakers will provide a detailed overview of the current requirements and expectations for Scope 3 providers and set the stage for a deeper discussion about the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the sustainability journey.
They will also underscore the importance of working together to drive innovation and achieve shared sustainability goals, particularly in projects related to Scope 3 emissions. They will showcase how organizations can meet their science-based targets, offer best practices and demonstrate the use of sustainable options without compromising on quality.
This webinar promises to be relevant and engaging for sustainability leaders, providing the knowledge and tools needed to drive meaningful change in their organizations.
Register for this webinar today to lead the change and explore sustainable solutions in clinical trials by focusing on achieving Scope 3 emissions-related goals without compromising on quality.
