Cytiva Lab achieves My Green Lab Certification

  • Cytiva’s MSAT laboratory receives the highest level of My Green Lab Certification
  • This is the first step in Cytiva’s goal to certify a lab at each facility site

Logan, Utah: Cytiva announced that its Manufacturing Science and Applied Technology (MSAT) laboratory received the highest level of My Green Lab Certification — which is considered the global gold standard for laboratory sustainability best practices.

My Green Lab Certification is recognized by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign as a key measure of progress towards pharmaceutical and medical technology companies achieving a goal of a zero-carbon future. This certification program indicates a lab has attained strong sustainability practices around 14 topics including energy, water, waste, chemistry/materials, and engagement.

“This certification is another example of Cytiva’s commitment to sustainability,” said Mary Blenn, VP of Global Supply Chain. “We are implementing robust environmental practices in our own labs, and by doing so, we are better positioning Cytiva to help our customers meet their own sustainability goals.”

The MSAT Lab is the first lab at Cytiva to receive the My Green Lab Certification. This certification builds on the commitment Cytiva has to reducing their environmental impact. Cytiva’s focus with the MSAT laboratory is to decrease their carbon footprint and divert plastic waste from going to landfills. Cytiva aims to certify a lab at each site, and this is the first step.

“We are proud to partner with Cytiva in reducing the environmental impact of life sciences. Cytiva is leading by example to turn their carbon reduction commitments into action. We congratulate them for achieving the highest certification level,” said James Connelly, My Green Lab CEO.
