      abstract = {The pharmaceutical industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to its significant environmental footprint, particularly in the areas of drug production and distribution. This paper explores integrating green chemistry principles into pharmaceutical manufacturing and adopting sustainable supply chain strategies to address these challenges. Green chemistry offers innovative solutions by promoting safer chemical processes, energy efficiency, and waste reduction in drug synthesis. Additionally, eco-friendly packaging, waste reduction strategies, and carbon footprint reduction in logistics are essential for creating a more sustainable pharmaceutical supply chain. However, significant challenges remain, including regulatory hurdles, economic constraints, and resistance to change within the industry. Through an analysis of these factors, this paper highlights the importance of policy interventions, technological advancements, and continued research to overcome barriers and promote the widespread adoption of sustainable practices. The findings indicate that, while progress has been made, further innovation, collaboration, and investment are needed to realize a fully sustainable pharmaceutical supply chain. This paper concludes by offering policy recommendations for greener supply chains and suggesting future research directions to enhance the industry's sustainability through technological advancements in manufacturing, packaging, and logistics.},
