Across pharma, companies face the same sustainability challenges, yet most are still trying to solve them alone. A new summit at CPHI Milan is designed to change that. This week on Making It In Manufacturing, Thomas McMann sat down with Silvia Forroova, Director of Partnerships and Sustainability at CPHI, with almost 20 years of experience in the events industry spanning strategic partnerships, sustainability strategy and the global CPHI events portfolio within Informa Markets. In this episode, Silvia covers: (02:21) Why the CPHI Sustainability Collective was created, after years of conversations with manufacturers, packaging designers and suppliers revealed an industry tackling shared sustainability challenges in isolation. (04:24) What the Sustainability Summit is: a two-day collaborative platform for pharmaceutical professionals, built around discussion, action and knowledge exchange rather than passive listening. (06:51) How the summit's format differs from the main CPHI show. It is deliberately more intimate, with 20+ roundtables, interactive discussions and peer-to-peer working groups, plus keynotes from Sony Kapoor and Barbara Hook. (11:26) Why sustainability now warrants its own platform, with regulation, investors, patients and industry experts all pushing it from a compliance checkbox to a strategic priority. (16:59) The thinking behind CPHI's first hackathon, where mixed teams of buyers, suppliers and manufacturers develop and pitch practical solutions to real sustainability challenges. For anyone working through decarbonisation, packaging, supply chain or regulatory pressures, this conversation offers a clear view of how the industry is starting to tackle them together. Watch the full episode to hear what Silvia hopes the first summit will achieve.
