Sustainability

Sustainability Working Group is dedicated to fostering a culture of sustainability within the laboratory sector, ensuring that members are well-prepared for both regulatory changes and the shift toward greener operations.  

 

The group is addressing many topics such as the implementation of the new directive CSRD, management of resources and energy saving, reduce the use of hazardous chemicals, enhance the use of recyclable materials, labs waste management, etc. Currently, key focuses are: 

 

Sustainability in EU Regulations: WGS will address compliance and adaptation to new European regulations impacting labs. Reducing labs carbon footprints, resource management, and energy conservation are high on the agenda. 

 

Resource Optimization and Best Practices: the group aims to create guidance documents, facilitate training and share best sustainable practices with the laboratories across Europe.
