May 21-22, 2024 • Lugano Convention Centre (Palazzo dei Congressi), Lugano, Switzerland
The Drug, Chemical & Associated Technologies Association (DCAT) is pleased to welcome Nili Gilbert, CFA, CAIA, as the Keynote Speaker of the DCAT Sustainability Summit. Ms. Gilbert is the Vice Chairwoman of Carbon Direct, a leader in scaling carbon management into a global industry through climate investment, technology, and client advisory.
Summit Overview
Sustainability is now a key requirement in supplier selection and evaluation. DCAT’s inaugural two-day conference and networking event in Lugano, Switzerland, is bringing together high-level executives to examine the opportunities, challenges, and solutions in meeting rising requirements in sustainability in the bio/pharmaceutical customer–supplier relationship.
When you sit down with your customers or with your suppliers, what do you need to know to stay informed and better understand how the competitive landscape is changing?
DCAT’s Global Bio/Pharmaceutical Sustainability Imperative Summit will answer that all-important question. Key topics to be addressed:
- Sustainability & The Bottom Line: Proposed and new climate-disclosure requirements in financial reporting in Europe and the United States are coming into play: What does it mean for manufacturers and the supply chain?
- The European Green Deal: What is the impact of this major policy initiative on companies doing business in the European Union and cross-border?
- Industry Solutions: How are bio/pharma companies and suppliers addressing the practical challenges of doing business in this new era of sustainability? Gain practical insight from industry leaders on how their companies are managing risks and financial impacts, tackling the challenge of common data collection and reporting, and applying best practices for sustainable sourcing. Learn of the key standards, metrics, and approaches being used in the industry: how does your company measured up?

“Sustainability is much more than just a buzzword for pharmaceutical companies and CDMOs. For many companies in this industry, sustainability has become a major focus area, and the industry is already making great progress. We look forward to attending The Summit in Lugano to connect with the DCAT Member Community, share what Siegfried is doing and to learn from other industry thought leaders what they are doing about this important topic.”
“At Curia, leaders from Business Development, as well as those that lead our Procurement / Partnering decisions, will be attending what promises to be an outstanding learning and networking opportunity. DCAT’s Summit at Lugano, Switzerland is the first of its kind and is a tremendous opportunity to access industry front runners and thought leadership on the topic of sustainability. Engaging with leaders who are already doing the work, seeing results, facing challenges and coming to share their best practices will be invaluable to organizations of all sizes who are just now beginning to face this topic head on. It’s our belief that the quality of future deals will be driven by a full appreciation of the complexity of the supply chain under the light of sustainable manufacturing for the long run. DCAT’s Summit at Lugano will afford all who attend an opportunity to help forge our path towards that sustainability.”
