A Commitment to People & the Environment
Sustainability is a hot topic in every aspect of our lives, especially for those of us in STEM-related fields and research facilities. National Institutes of Health have even moved to make all NIH Labs “green” and are open to discussions around new techniques and processes that lower their carbon footprint in the future.
Eppendorf has looked at sustainability efforts that affect more just than the environment. They consider social aspects and financial impact as a part of sustainability, too. This means your lab can “go green” when you work with them. Let’s look at the breakdown of how they are achieving this.
- Ergonomics: The company considers the health of the researcher or scientist using the products. Lowering strain on the body will keep researchers healthy and reduce the number of sick days needed. Long-term focus considers strains on the spine and support for legs and feet.
- Corporate Citizenship: Eppendorf focuses on its social responsibility across the globe. As a family-owned company, Eppendorf emphasizes the importance of heterogeneity and the individuality of stakeholders while still valuing diversity, world views, and the potential for global impacts.
- Internal Commitments: The company employs sustainability efforts in its own workspace as they ask any other lab to do. They consider the buildings they work in, their power supply, employee certifications, and even the office equipment they use.
- Responsible Business Practices: Eppendorf has set a code of conduct for the business that exceeds legal requirements. To adhere to those requirements, they also have a code of conduct for their suppliers. This ensures responsibility on all levels and adds a level of trust when you deal with its distributors.
- Product Groups: Eppendorf has its own research and development team that considers the environment and socially responsible manufacturing processes. It also takes into account the final products themselves. Are they ecological? Are they economical? Do they promote environmentally and socially friendly processes? Two concepts take center stage: energy efficiency and a lower carbon footprint.
- Background Articles: These articles engage in a wide variety of topics for the scientific community. The focus of these articles is to answer the world’s most straightforward question: Why? The knowledge and experience of countless scientists are found within this category, and you can request topics that have yet to be covered.
