Agilent Achieves “Angel” Level Sponsorship of My Green Lab
Agilent Technologies Inc. (Santa Clara, California, USA) has announced that it has become the first “Angel” level sponsor of My Green Lab, a nonprofit organization devoted to building a global culture of sustainability in science.
Agilent is also sponsor of the My Green Lab Certification programme, and is working hard to ensure its global on-site customer demonstration laboratories are Green Lab Certified. The company has already achieved the highest level certification for the Waldbronn, Germany, Cheadle, UK, and Santa Clara, USA, sites.
“Sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards are central to our mission to advance the quality of life, and our sponsorship of My Green Lab helps us to drive this forward,” said Darlene Solomon, senior vice president, and chief technology officer at Agilent. “Being an ‘Angel’ level sponsor will further cultivate our knowledge of creating sustainable green labs, which we can share with our customers globally and support them on their sustainability journey.”
Recognized by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign as a measure of progress for pharmaceutical and medical technology companies toward a zero-carbon future, the certification indicates that a laboratory has achieved strong sustainability practices in energy use, water consumption, recycling, and waste production.
