Each year, the ACS Green Chemistry Institute's Pharmaceutical Roundtable recognizes green chemistry innovations in the pharmaceutical industry. The four awards include:
Peter J. Dunn Awards for Green Chemistry & Engineering Impact in the Pharmaceutical Industry
To recognize excellence in the research, development and execution of green chemistry that demonstrates compelling environmental, safety and efficiency improvements over current technologies in the pharmaceutical industry and its allied industrial partners.
Data Science and Modeling for Green Chemistry
To recognize the research and development of computational tools that guide the design of sustainable chemical processes and the execution of green chemistry... ...in the pharmaceutical industry and its allied industrial partners.
CMO Excellence in Green Chemistry Award
To recognize outstanding efforts by contract manufacturing companies (CMOs) in pharmaceutical green chemistry in support of pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing that demonstrate compelling environmental, safety and/or efficiency improvements.
Green Discovery Chemistry Award
To recognize outstanding efforts in discovery chemistry that demonstrate compelling environmental, safety and/or efficiency improvements through green chemistry and engineering.
Nominations for the 2026 awards are due by December 8, 2025. The awards will presented at a ceremony at the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, held next June 15-18 in San Antonio, Texas. Winners will be invited to present their winning technology at a symposium during the conference.
