Harnessing Digital Innovation to Drive a Greener, More Sustainable Future | Sriman Banerjee

At Environmental Sustainability and Climate Innovation, Sriman Banerjee, Executive Director and Head of Diagnostics, Software Devices and Packaging Development at Takeda, explains how digital innovation drives sustainability. In silico modeling replaces resource-intensive prototyping with simulations, cutting emissions by up to half while accelerating development. Electronic leaflets replace paper inserts with QR code access, reducing waste and improving patient engagement. Japan already mandates this practice, and Banerjee urges broader adoption. He emphasizes that organizations investing in interoperable systems and talent readiness integrate competitiveness with environmental responsibility and create resilient pathways to a greener economy.
