HPLC COLUMN RECYCLING SURVEY
We intend to develop and offer a recycling service for our UK customer base as part of our portfolio of Sustainability Services and your participation in this survey will help to shape our service. If you wish to be kept informed of this service as it develops, please indicate this on the last question in the survey.
SUPPLIER SUSTAINABILITY BENCHMARK SURVEY
Driving green products and services to the analytical chemistry laboratory.
Recognizing the profound impact that supply chains have on the environment, we have initiated a Supplier Sustainability Survey, a comprehensive evaluation encompassing data from 20 of our key suppliers. This survey analyses various dimensions of sustainability — including the utilization of recycled materials in manufacturing. the integration of sustainable products, emissions evaluation and the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Our goal is to establish a benchmark for the sustainability credentials of our suppliers, learning from their good practice and establishing new ways of working. This benchmarking will not only highlight the current standing of our combined environmental efforts but will also pave the way for collaborative strategies aimed at enhancing our collective sustainability footprint and driving technologies and services which will help our customers to achieve their own environmental impact reduction targets.
