At Eurofins, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are also committed to conducting our business to the highest ethical standards and operating in a responsible and sustainable manner. We embed corporate sustainability principles in our business strategy and the way we operate, as an essential component in both creating long-term value and achieving our mission of contributing to a healthier and safer world.
We recognise our responsibility to help take care of the world we live in. That's why we have set ourselves the ambitious target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2025.
Our companies are committed to measuring and reducing their carbon emissions. Efforts to compensate part of Eurofins’ unavoidable carbon footprint are a priority, given the vital importance of reducing the speed of global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, as set out by the Paris Agreement in 2015.
Our network of CO₂ Champions assist with our carbon footprint measurement exercise and help business leaders to implement local reduction strategies with central support. Local carbon reduction projects include, but are not limited to, renewable energy sourcing, green commuting initiatives (e.g. carpooling, bike to work challenges, public transportation subsidies, on-site electric vehicle charging stations), solar panel installations and more.
Eurofins is well on its way to achieving the objective of carbon emission neutrality by the end of 2025, through a combination of emission reductions and compensation initiatives.
Eurofins has committed to setting near-term, network-wide emission reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a leading climate action group.
As part of our commitment to ethical, responsible and sustainable business operations, Eurofins supports, directly or indirectly, 16 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and we continue to expand our alignment with the UN SDGs.
We are proud to share a dedicated Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report each year, with more information on our sustainability goals and activities.
Eurofins Sustainability Services supports our global customers in creating sustainability solutions backed by verified metrics and measurements. By bringing together a wide range of our products and services in one place, we enable our customers to quickly access sustainability solutions for all areas of the product value chain.
