The Sustainable Medicines Partnership (SMP) is a not-for-profit action collaborative of 48 organisations.
Together we are executing a four year programme of integrated, science-based projects to reduce waste of medicines and from medicines.
To make every dose count.

Through extensive stakeholder discussions we defined the Pillars of Sustainable Medicines - a conceptual framework to guide the SMP Programme design.
