The environmental protection pressure of the pharmaceutical industry continues to increase, and some pharmaceutical companies have been fined one after another

In recent years, the country's efforts to rectify the environmental protection of the pharmaceutical industry have been increasing, and a series of documents have been issued
.
For example, this year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Pollution Control, Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Central Budget Investment Special Management Measures" (Circular 655), proposing that it will focus on supporting the construction of environmental infrastructure such as sewage and garbage treatment, energy conservation and carbon reduction, resource conservation and high efficiency.
Utilize and highlight the four directions of environmental pollution control
.
The industry believes that under the influence of many environmental protection policies, the pharmaceutical industry will face more and more severe environmental pressures.
If effective governance is not carried out, it may greatly hinder the sustainable development of enterprises
.
In fact, in the context of increasingly stringent environmental protection, a large number of pharmaceutical companies have been punished for non-compliance with environmental protection standards, including production restrictions or suspension of production for rectification
.
For example, recently, the Shenyang Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment issued the "Shenyang City Opens the Second Round of Provincial-level Ecological Environmental Protection Inspection and Rectification Plan", and the pollution problem of a pharmaceutical company was once again exposed
.
The "Plan" shows that the company has privately changed or added discharge outlets and abnormally operates pollution prevention facilities
.
It is understood that since May, the company and its subsidiaries have been "named" by the ecological environment supervision department every month and received 8 environmental protection tickets, of which 7 were directly punished by the company
.
It is worth noting that the pollution problem of the company is continuous and intensified.
Last year, four environmental fines were received, and the current number of fines has doubled this year
.
In addition to the above-mentioned companies, according to incomplete data, the number of positive environmental administrative penalties received by Chinese pharmaceutical companies during the 10 years from 2011 to 2021 has soared.
Although the number of penalties from 2018 to 2020 has declined, it is still higher than that of 2014~ In 2016, the data for January-April 2021 is also significantly higher than the whole year of 2012
.
It can be seen that China's pharmaceutical companies are currently under high pressure in environmental protection
.
In this regard, the industry believes that under the background of my country's promotion of green development and sustainable development, pharmaceutical companies can only achieve better development if they attach great importance to the severe practical problems of pharmaceutical environmental protection and take action.

.
Among them, compliance will be the foundation for the future survival and development of enterprises.
It is necessary to shift from barbaric growth to compliance development, establish correct industrial values ​​in the pharmaceutical industry, and respond rationally to major changes in the industry
.
It is worth mentioning that on the issue of environmental protection, many companies have already begun to invest heavily in treatment and remediation
.
For example, since 1995, a pharmaceutical company has invested more than 400 million yuan in the construction of a sewage treatment plant alone
.
Up to now, the pharmaceutical company has invested more than 1.
6 billion yuan in environmental protection infrastructure, of which the environmental protection operating expenses in 2019 reached 240 million yuan
.
Other pharmaceutical companies have continuously improved environmental hardware supporting facilities by introducing new environmental protection technologies and technologies, and invested 1 billion yuan to build environmental protection projects
.
It is reported that through the scientific construction of the energy system and environmental protection management system, the company's environmental management level has been continuously improved.
Enterprise wastewater, boiler exhaust gas and incinerator exhaust gas have all installed on-line monitoring systems to achieve emission standards, and the emission concentration of major pollution factors is far below Standard requirements
.
In general, with the successive introduction of a series of environmental protection policies, the environmental protection storm in the industry has struck.
Pharmaceutical companies need to change the psychology of fluke in the past, pay attention to environmental protection concepts, strengthen environmental protection remediation, timely eliminate outdated production capacity, and introduce new environmental protection technologies Only equipment can achieve sustainable development
