Our commitment to preserving and improving the natural environment by maintaining a long-term view of what is needed to thrive for the next 100 years and beyond.
Reducing Emissions with Renewable Energy and Efficiency Gains
We invest in energy efficiency and use renewable energy to minimize the effects of electricity usage. Promega is committed to using 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Currently, we’ve achieved 75% through on-site renewable energy production and global partnerships for renewable energy procurement.
Our 2030 Goals
All goals are indexed to revenue, over a 2019 baseline.
Reducing Effects from Product Design and Distribution
Promega reduces the environmental impacts of our product lifecycle by integrating green chemistry as well as sustainable packaging and shipping options.
Investing Globally in Sustainable Growth
New Promega facilities are designed and constructed to meet ambitious sustainability goals. Environmental innovations incorporated into one project inspire and inform the next.
Minimizing Waste
Embracing the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' ethos, we've cut waste by recycling lab gear, plastics, and e-waste. Discover how an employee initiative to recycle shrink wrap sparked the purchase of infrastructure to expand this program.
Sustainable Solutions with Environmentally Preferable Products
With our growing portfolio of products, we want to make a conscious effort to help you be eco-conscious in your lab. Our environmentally preferable products use less packaging, fewer hazardous components and generate less waste. These products can support your existing practices and empower you to discover new opportunities for advancing your sustainability efforts.
Redesigning Our Packaging to be More Sustainable
You may have noticed our kit packaging looks different. We are committed to sustainability and our redesigned packaging kept sustainability at the center. See what our award-winning sustainable packaging looks like and how the efforts of many people resulted in a leaner, more sustainable box.
Greener Shipping Innovations
We've reduced our environmental footprint by using smaller, unbleached shipping boxes made from sustainable materials and biodegradable air pouches, alongside packaging designs that minimize air space and utilize better insulating materials, cutting shipment weight and dry ice usage.
Conserving Water
Promega evaluates initiatives to conserve water in manufacturing, landscaping and other everyday needs at all locations. Examples include collecting rainwater for cleaning and irrigating plants in Australia and water conservation projects at manufacturing sites in California and Wisconsin.
