GreenScore methodology: A Servier assessment tool used to evaluate key criteria including carbon footprint, energy efficiency, waste generation, biodiversity impact, and process safety to ensure sustainability from the start.
2
Second-generation optimization: By redesigning chemical synthesis, we achieved a 75% reduction in carbon footprint and a 72% decrease in waste, thanks to fewer synthesis steps and a lower consumption of solvents and reagents.
3
Advanced flow chemistry & automation: Integrating increased automation and flow chemistry has reduced chemical risk, improved predictability, and shortened production time by 30% for our manufacturing processes.
4
Production efficiency: Beyond ecology, eco-design drives performance. Optimized synthesis steps have allowed us to reduce production time by up to 80% for certain processes while maintaining the highest safety standards.
