A company that has a nature positive target that is linked to Exec Pay to have safe discharges from drug manufacture by 2030; this is 20 years behind what AstraZenceca have delivered. GSK has known what is safe for the environment from their global sites since 2006. The absence of regulation results in the absence of any corporate responsibility to do what's right! They have the revenue and profits to do the right thing! Potentially 20 years more pollution and environmental impact than AZ. Is GSK a company that is polluting to heal?

When we’re given a vaccine or take a medicine – our first thought isn’t the planet’s health – it's our own. But healthy people need a healthy planet. That’s why at GSK, we have ambitious goals on climate and nature, so we both prevent and treat disease and protect our home. I recently spent time at one of our manufacturing sites in Singapore to see first-hand how we’re uniting the very best science, tech and talent to help achieve these sustainability goals. Our team here have developed a new manufacturing process that reduces material use, waste and greenhouse gas emissions, while also improving efficiencies and productivity. And today we’re going even further - announcing a renewable solar energy deal to cover the electricity demand for all our manufacturing sites in Singapore.    When we make vaccines and medicines more sustainable, resilient and efficient by design – we’re delivering innovation that is good for both people and the planet. #LondonClimateActionWeek #AheadTogether
