The life sciences industry has made great strides in sustainability over the past few years, with many organizations focusing on reducing their environmental impact and creating more efficient processes. Our Global Life Sciences: Forefront study surveyed 180 global industry leaders, interviewed 12 leading pharmaceutical companies, and highlighted insights from a roundtable hosted by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) on topics specific to pharmaceutical engineering teams. We found that 25% of the companies surveyed plan to add a dedicated sustainability function to drive solutions across their entire organization. This is a sign of commitment to achieving sustainability goals and ensuring resources are used efficiently. However, only 56% of companies have a formalized set of sustainability goals, and the majority of companies with goals do not have a strategic roadmap for how to achieve them. This shows that while companies recognize the importance of sustainability, many are still in the early stages of effective implementation. Efforts and goals Sustainability efforts vary greatly between companies, with some relying on certifications like LEED or ISO, while others use frameworks like the GRI Framework or other sustainability frameworks to track and measure success. More than half of respondents use these types of frameworks, but 40% still rely on CAPEX approval processes that can make it difficult to justify investments in sustainability initiatives. A common approach to achieving sustainability goals is to set a baseline year and then commit to reducing carbon emissions by a certain percentage by a certain target date. This annual assessment can be challenging for sites that are already energy efficient and easier to achieve for less efficient sites, but it also involves increased infrastructure, production, and staffing, adding complexity to the process. There is also an increased focus on single-use technologies due to their increased flexibility and efficiency; however,

Meyhomes Capital Phu Quoc, an “all-in-one” urban complex, is adjacent to the sea, next to major roads, and near key air-sea-land infrastructure and major APEC 2027 development projects. Covering over 300 hectares, Meyhomes Capital is being developed as a model urban area. The project enjoys many natural, locational, and planning advantages and is situated in the APEC event’s key zone. The Appeal of Coastal Urban Real Estate Thanks to its proximity to marine resources and maritime connectivity, coastal cities play a crucial role in global economic and social development. Around the world, many coastal cities have emerged as national symbols and global icons such as New York, San Diego, Seattle, and Hawaii (USA), Shanghai and Shenzhen (China), Tokyo (Japan), Pattaya and Phuket (Thailand), and Singapore. Coastal urban real estate is consistently among the most expensive in the world and is a preferred choice for many billionaires. For instance, Hawaii is home to luxury, uniquely located villas owned by investors like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman. San Diego also attracts high-profile investors such as Bill Gates and real estate magnate Donald Bren. In Vietnam, the trend is no different. Long-term ownership of coastal urban property on Phu Quoc Island is drawing significant interest from both homebuyers and investors, thanks to its combined value as a residence, vacation home, and asset for wealth accumulation. Among these, Meyhomes Capital Phu Quoc by MeyGroup stands out with high absorption rates. The project boasts dual coastlines bordering both Bai Truong and Bai Sao beaches.
