SUSTAINABILITY & IP MANAGEMENT - Free Webinar

  October 24, 2024 14:30 PM- 15:30 PM British Standard Time = 15.30 PM CET = 9.30 a.m. Eastern Time 


What this talk is about

This webinar looks at the role of sustainability in the pharmaceutical sector, as well as in the circular economy. In doing so, it discusses the role of innovation in sustainability strategy in two distinct sectors.

Amalia Waxman will address how a pharmaceutical company can meet its sustainability goals through innovations such as the issuance of a multi-billion Sustainability-Linked Bond—the first in the health sector—and which raised a total of nearly $10 billion in ESG-related financial instruments.

Dr Sheetal Menon will address particular Patent challenges in the context of the circular economy and address what IP management tactics work to assure adequate access to technology relating to sustainability globally. Her talk introduces the notion of ‘‘sustainable’ IP management, which is understood as an IP strategy that prioritizes sustainability, as defined by the UN sustainability development goals.

The speakers explore avenues that allow to profit from attractive revenues, while at the same time making use of their innovation and technology to promote sustainability goals.
