Lonza Capsules & Health Ingredients has established a Center of Applied Sustainability. The Center will drive Lonza CHI’s sustainability strategy. It will also reduce Lonza CHI’s environmental impact through energy efficiency, waste reduction, and resource optimization initiatives.  

Christine Lebeault, Head of Applied Sustainability, Lonza Capsules & Health Ingredients, commented, “As environmental concerns in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries continue to grow, developers and manufacturers face increased pressure to reduce environmental impact, particularly in final dosage forms. We believe that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, strengthening competitive advantage and contributing to a more sustainable future. With our newly established Center of Applied Sustainability, we will integrate sustainability into the early stages of product development and co-innovate with our customers to help them meet their environmental goals through responsible sourcing, manufacturing, and innovation.”

The Center will provide end-to-end support for customers seeking to reduce their emissions, from upstream supply chain emissions to downstream low environmental impact products. 

The Center will conduct carbon footprint assessments for CHI products to support customers in assessing their emissions and identify further reduction opportunities. It will also drive innovation, aiming to achieve the lowest possible environmental impacts for the CHI product portfolio.

By partnering and co-innovating with customers, it will help address emissions, adopt sustainable practices, and contribute to a greener future.
