“LogiPharma Europe was a blast for benchmarking, networking, learning and sharing! Thank you WBR for the organisation and an ever-growing event in the peculiar Pharma Logistics world.” - Riantsoa Tsu Rasolonjatovo, Global Logistics Transformation Leader and Global Process Owner, Elanco

Building a More Sustainable Future: A Collaborative Effort for Pharma

A key topic onsite was the critical goal of achieving a greener future within the pharmaceutical supply chain. A key discussion explored the balance between robust risk mitigation and secure supply chains alongside sustainability and cost-control initiatives.

The WBR Insights Supply Chain team spoke with leaders from industry giants who emphasized the long-term benefits outweigh initial investments in sustainable practices. Implementing energy-efficient technologies and adopting eco-friendly packaging might seem costlier upfront, but the long-term environmental and potentially financial gains are undeniable.

This could be seen in WBR’s own efforts to reduce plastic and waste on-site while also incorporating a sustainability zone into the expo. We are all doing our bit to help the planet including our exciting initiative with One Tree Planted: for every post event survey filled out, we planted a tree! In total, we planted 400 trees thanks to our pharma supply chain leaders.

Social Media Was Buzzing

There was a great buzz on social media whilst LogiPharma was taking place. Including the LogiPharma content corner, led by our WBR Insights Supply Chain team. They hosted live podcasts, interviews with industry leaders and interactive games like 'Overhyped, Underhyped, or Hyped'. It's safe to say our supply chain decision-makers had a lot of fun; check out more here.
