Abstract
This dissertation investigates the critical role of leadership in promoting environmental sustainability within the pharmaceutical industry in Ireland, examining how leaders can influence the development, manufacturing, and distribution of ecofriendly pharmaceutical products. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, the study involved semi-structured interviews with key industry leaders to gather deep insights into their strategies and the challenges they face in integrating sustainability into their operations.
The findings reveal that effective leadership is essential for fostering an organizational culture that prioritizes sustainability. Leaders who integrate environmental considerations into business strategies not only comply with regulatory demands but also drive innovation in sustainable practices. The study highlights various leadership styles and their effectiveness in overcoming barriers to sustainability, such as cost and regulatory compliance.
Significantly, the research underscores the necessity for pharmaceutical companies to align their operational and strategic initiatives with environmental sustainability to mitigate their ecological footprint while ensuring economic viability. This alignment is crucial in addressing the pressing global challenges of environmental degradation and climate change.
By exploring the interplay between leadership, sustainability, and corporate practices, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of the pharmaceutical sector's potential to lead in environmental stewardship, offering valuable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and sustainability advocates.
