🌍✨ Celebrating #BCorpMonth with purpose, pastries, and powerful conversations ✨🌍 Last week, I had the privilege of diving deep into what it means to be a force for good in business — and I’m proud to do it as part of The Salve Health | Certified B Corporation. ✅ First up: People, Planet, Pastry in Cheltenham, hosted at Ritual Coffee Roasters. A lovely hour chatting with purpose-led peers exploring how Gloucestershire businesses are driving local (and global!) impact — all over coffee and croissants. 🎙 Then I joined a LinkedIn Live panel with fellow B Corp-certified members of The Health House (Kath Cotton, Salt | B Corp certified, Jo Spadaccino, Stirred Health Limited - B Corp certified and Jenny Owen, Word Monster | Powered by Medical Writing), hosted by Lisa Kyriacou Faulks at Social Elements). We shared our B Corp journeys — how we got here, why we stay, and how the movement shapes our day-to-day as health-focused businesses. 🌱 Finally, I travelled to Cambridge for an inspiring evening on "Building a Regenerative Future: B Corp Connections", hosted by Costello Medical, Conscious Communications, and Executive Education at Cambridge Judge Business School. Christopher Marquis (Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management and Fellow and Director of Studies at Jesus College at the University of Cambridge) delivered a thought-provoking keynote on business mindsets shifting from “not just mitigation, but giving back” — highlighting leading firms like Patagonia, Allbirds, Natura & Co, and Chloé. His talk was followed by a brilliant panel featuring Becky Ryder (Cambridge Commodities), Sophie Costello (Costello Medical), and Alison Taylor (Conscious Communications), who each shared their challenges and wins around embedding regenerative thinking into their operations. Thanks so much Sophie Pearson for the invite, it was lovely to meet you and the Costello team! B Corp Month is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder. That better business is possible. That community matters. And that purpose, when acted on with intention, can create ripple effects far beyond the bottom line. At The Salve Health, we’re proud to be part of this growing movement every day. #BCorp #BCorpMonth #BCorpUK #RegenerativeBusiness #SustainableBusiness #PurposeDriven #MedicalCommunications #TheHealthHouse #TheSalveHealth #PeoplePlanetPastry

Who are your industry role models?! We had the pleasure and the privilege to meet some of ours on Friday last week in London for the Women in Pharma (WiP) Role Model Awards. We’re absolutely thrilled to have WON the Women in Pharma Health Equity Role Model award. 🥇 The pharmaceutical industry has both the responsibility and the power to lead health equity change and at The Salve, we’ve made supporting Medical Affairs health equity strategy and tactics a key mission of ours. We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised for our work and as role models in this critical area of Medical Communications. The celebrations don’t stop there as we were also delighted to sponsor both the Wellbeing Role Model award (congratulations to Vicky Bush, MSL at Novartis) and the Industry Leader Role Model award. Huge congratulations to Anna Maxwell, CEO and Founder at MAXWELLIA who won Industry Leader. Anna has long been a role of model of ours in the pharma industry and is leading the way in women’s health with Maxwellia’s innovative product portfolio. Big shout out also to Emma Iovoli, Medical Sustainability Lead at Bayer who won the Shaking Up The Industry award. Emma is leading the #MedicalAffairs charge in climate change, human health and equity and we couldn’t be prouder of what she has and is achieving in this space. Well done to all the outstanding finalists and winners. You’ve got to be it, for people to see it. . . . #WiPRoleModelAwards #MedicalAffairs #MedComms #WomenInPharma

🌍 Equity in research starts with representation. This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re spotlighting a critical health equity challenge: the underreporting of sex and gender differences in industry-sponsored clinical research. At The Salve Health | Certified B Corporation, we are committed to advancing health equity, and our latest research - presented as an oral presentation at the January ISMPP EU meeting and now accepted for a poster tour at ISMPP’s Annual Meeting in Washington in May - reveals a persistent gap in how sex and gender are considered in clinical trials. 🔍 Despite nearly a decade since the SAGER guidelines were introduced, our literature review found zero industry-sponsored publications in chronic immunological conditions that fully adhered to these standards. This is a missed opportunity - not just for research quality, but for real-world patient outcomes. 💡 The pharmaceutical industry has both the responsibility and the power to lead change. By integrating sex- and gender-based analyses into research design, we can drive more inclusive, effective healthcare solutions. 👉 Let’s turn awareness into action. How can we, as an industry, work together to close this gap? Join the conversation below.
