DSM Pharmaceutical Products has received a “Profiles in Sustainability” award from United Business Media (UBM) and ICIS Chemical Business. UBM is a global business media company and parent of InformexUSA. The award, presented at Informex in San Francisco, was based on DSM’s process intensification activities, such as micro reactor technology, and “green chemistry toolbox” for the sustainable, cost-effective production of APIs.

“DSM is proud of its broad technological toolbox in chemistry, biology, and process technology and material sciences, which strongly contribute to our leadership position in sustainable manufacturing. Also, optimizing first generation processes by driving down the cost curve is crucial for the commercial success of pharmaceutical compounds.” commented Luca Mantovani, president and business unit director of DSM Pharma Chemicals.

“The Profiles in Sustainability award was born from a need to recognize that sustainable chemistry was not just a passing fad or a niche branch for the chemical industry. Informex is leading the way in bringing green chemistry to the forefront in traditional chemical forums. We were overwhelmed at the outpouring of interest in the award, and the quality of the papers. The real factor that made our winners stand-out was their current viability in the market,” said Jennifer Jessup, brand director of Informex.
