We all have a duty to play our part in efforts to protect the natural world and achieve sustainable climate objectives. In line with this perspective, Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing Europe has decided to promote and implement the International Standard ISO 14001 by introducing an Environmental Management System. Through earning the certification, sites were challenged to improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reducing waste.

The certification process began early in 2021 and involved 12 countries, encompassing 32 Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing Europe sites, with full dedication from both site managers and laboratory staff. Adherence to the ISO 14001 certification shows that the organisation has a Management System that keeps the environmental impacts of its activities under control and systematically seeks improvement in a coherent, effective and, above all, sustainable way. Thanks to the commitment and contributions of everyone involved, certification was achieved as early as March 2022. Eurofins’ network of European BioPharma Product Testing laboratories demonstrated the will of the organisation to enhance environmental performance by mitigating and preventing adverse environmental impacts to help protect the planet. Through innovation, hard work and passion, the teams achieved ISO 14001 environmental objectives by controlling and influencing the way our organisation’s services are designed, manufactured, distributed, consumed and disposed of.
