Emergent BioSolutions Supports Voices for Awareness and Facing Fentanyl Now on August 21, 2025 for National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day™

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As opioid emergencies continue to be the leading cause of accidental death in the United States,¹ Emergent BioSolutions (NYSE: EBS) is teaming up with Voices for Awareness and Facing Fentanyl Now in honor of National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day™ on August 21, 2025. As part of this year’s efforts, these leading advocacy organizations and its sponsors will bring their message to Times Square, NYC on the day with several high-visibility billboards that expose fentanyl risks and urge a nationwide call to action to reduce the stigma around opioid poisonings ensuring that more people can be prepared to save a life. Synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, are a key driver of the opioid epidemic, contributing to nearly 70 percent of all overdose deaths.² Its undetectable nature—lacking taste, smell, or visible characteristics—makes fentanyl particularly dangerous, and this partnership underscores a shared commitment to saving lives through increased public awareness.
