Sustainability requirements: AstraZeneca requires suppliers to comply with all environmental regulations, securing necessary permits and licenses and providing data on the environmental impact of products. Suppliers must set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, maximize renewable energy use, and should consider joining RE100. Waste and emissions to air, land, and water should be minimized, with hazardous materials reduced, and non-essential single-use plastics—like straws and cutlery—eliminated. Suppliers must carefully manage waste, air emissions, and wastewater. Resource conservation measures should focus on water, energy, and natural resources, adhering to AstraZeneca’s water and forestry stewardship policies.
