Sai Life Sciences wins GSK’s Environmental Sustainability Supplier award 2021 in the ‘Primary Manufacturing’ category

Every year, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) organises the Environmental Supplier awards to recognise its suppliers’ contribution to environmental sustainability. Now in its 8th year, the platform has grown to become a prestigious forum for recognising superior environmental sustainability practices across the company’s global value chain, with growing participation from several of its direct and indirect suppliers.
