Reducing Emissions with Renewable Energy and Efficiency Gains
We invest in energy efficiency and use renewable energy to minimize the effects of electricity usage. Promega has committed to using 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Currently, over 50% of electricity used is from renewable sources thanks to recent investments in on-site generation and partnerships to source renewable energy globally.

Minimizing Waste
The “reduce, reuse, recycle” mindset is part of the DNA of our company. Our global efforts to decrease the amount of waste have included recycling protective garments from our laboratories, as well as shrink wrap, plastic bottles, pipette tip boxes and e-waste.

One of the hardest things for people to wrap their heads around tends to be the idea that small wins add up to big victories. However, if we want to make a big difference for the future of our planet and its people, we have to overcome our indifferences towards so many small things in life.
– Mauro Ciglic, General Manager, Promega AG

Reducing Packaging Materials
We continually evaluate the sustainability of our packaging to use less paperboard, ink and adhesive, use environmentally friendly materials, and design for recycling or reuse while maintaining product protection and quality. Our environmentally conscious efforts include switching to smaller shipping boxes to use less materials, changing to unbleached shipping boxes with sustainably harvested materials and using biodegradable and recyclable air pouches that protect our products. In addition, we have implemented designs that minimize package air space and incorporate better insulating materials, efforts that reduced both shipment weight and the amount of dry ice.
