EcoClin

First carbon footprint calculator for clinical trials

Clinact, the first #GreenCRO, launches EcoClin for sustainable clinical trials

The WHO considers climate change to be the greatest threat to health. It also represents an opportunity
to develop new approaches, forms of mobility and habits in all sectors, in order to build lifestyles that are more
sustainable, resilient and beneficial to everyone's health.

EcoClin, the first carbon footprint calculator dedicated to clinical trials, is a tool developed by
CLINACT, the first #GreenCRO. It supports sponsors, laboratories and institutions in the ecological transition
. It enables them to anticipate, optimize and adjust their clinical studies and investigations
by integrating more responsible practices and choices, without compromising medical objectives,
scientific quality or patient safety.

A pioneering tool in clinical research

French innovation

EcoClin is based on a methodology which takes into account the specific features of each protocol: number of centers, travel, consumables, logistics, etc.

Results processing

each study is translated into CO2 equivalent, with an evaluation by emission item, making for a quick and transparent reading.

Suitable for all studies

EcoClin evaluates multicenter and single-center studies, from Phase I to IV, as well as decentralized studies.

An indispensable tool for responsible clinical research

Scientific approach: EcoClin is based on a methodology drawn from the publications of international research teams and working groups.

Exploitation of results: each activity carried out as part of a study is converted into CO2 equivalents and broken down into major emission categories, enabling us to identify the areas that contribute most significantly.

Suitable for all studies: it can be applied to pre- and post-marketing studies for drugs, medical devices and any other healthcare product.

Controlling the environmental impact of your studies

Simulation and alternative scenarios: estimate the impact of the methodological and logistical choices envisaged to define the most appropriate design and tools.

Responsible recommendations: CLINACT makes proposals tailored to each study, depending on the customer's needs: pooling visits, digitizing tools, optimizing transport, etc.

Integration into your CSR strategy: the solution fits in with your corporate social responsibility approach by quantifying and promoting your initiatives.

A commitment to sustainable clinical research

Sustainability is no longer optional in clinical research. EcoClin and Clinact embody this change by anticipating tomorrow's standards and stimulating innovation today.

Initiative led by CLINACT: the 1st #GreenCRO to make a commitment and propose approaches to actively participate in the ecological transformation of clinical research.

Responsible innovation: this approach relies on committed players who aspire to more ethical, responsible and sustainable research.

Compliance with requirements: the environmental impact of clinical studies is set to become a regulatory criterion, so we need to get ahead of the game.
