As sustainability becomes a strategic priority across pharma supply chains, the last mile remains one of the most complex and difficult areas to address. With increasing pressure to reduce emissions, minimize packaging waste, and meet regulatory and ESG targets, organizations are being forced to rethink how products reach patients. Panelists will share how they are tackling sustainability in the last mile without compromising service levels, product integrity, or cost efficiency.

• Identify practical strategies for reducing emissions and waste in last mile operations without sacrificing service levels
• Understand the trade-offs between sustainability, cost, and speed—and how to navigate them effectively
• Learn how leading organizations are partnering and leveraging data to drive measurable sustainability outcomes

Despite major investments in digital tools, advanced analytics, and redesigned operating models, many pharma organizations still struggle with the "last mile" of execution, ensuring reliable plans, timely decisions, and consistent operational performance across global networks. This panel brings together leaders in planning, operations, digital, and quality to discuss how they're closing the execution gap through better data integration, improved visibility, scenario-based planning, and redesigned cross-functional workflows.

Panelists will share what's working (and what's not) as they build more connected, agile organizations; how they're reducing firefighting; and how they're embedding new decision-making behaviors that strengthen service levels, reduce variability, and accelerate response times.

 Strengthen planning and decision-making by harmonizing data, simplifying workflows, and integrating real-time signals

 Improve operational stability by identifying and eliminating failure points that cause reactive firefighting

 Enable faster, more confident decisions through clearer governance, stronger cross-functional collaboration, and predictive insights
