AstraZeneca has set clear supplier sustainability requirements designed to ensure every vendor supports responsible business practices. For suppliers, this means demonstrating credible progress on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, from emissions tracking to ethical labor practices.

By aligning with these standards, suppliers strengthen their partnership with AstraZeneca and stay ahead of global compliance expectations.

AstraZeneca is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines.

Science-based net-zero emissions.

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.
