Towards increased transparency in the pharmaceutical supply chain


Industrial emissions from manufacturing of medicines are often associated with environmental pollution, adversely impacting ecosystems and human health. However, opaque supply chains make it impossible to hold polluters to account. In a new policy paper, Swedwatch calls on EU policymakers to strengthen their oversight on industrial emissions in the pharmaceutical sector.

Öka kontrollen av industriella utsläpp i läkemedelsindustrin

Tillverkning av läkemedel är ofta förknippat med föroreningar, som i sin tur påverkar miljö och mänskliga rättigheter negativt. En omfattande brist på transparens i läkemedelsindustrin gör det samtidigt omöjligt att ställa ansvariga till svars. Nu uppmanar Swedwatch EU att stärka sin kontroll över utsläppen i produktionsfasen.

For sustainable change

Swedwatch är en ideell och politiskt obunden researchorganisation. Vårt mål är att företag, investerare och stater ska ta ansvar för mänskliga rättigheter och miljö och att rättighetsinnehavare kan göra sina röster hörda.

Genom att uppmärksamma missförhållanden och skapa dialog mellan företag, beslutsfattare och civilsamhälle verkar vi för att skapa bestående och hållbara förändringar.
