Science has always driven innovation. Now, it must lead on sustainability — transforming how we research, discover, and solve our world’s biggest challenges.
My Green Lab® was founded with a clear vision: that all science is conducted in a way that benefits people and the planet. We saw the waste and inefficiency, and realized labs lacked the tools and strategies to minimize their own significant environmental impacts, so we decided to build them ourselves.
From the world’s most trusted green lab certifications to the first ecolabel for lab products and equipment, we’ve been creating a culture of sustainability across the scientific community. Here’s our impact so far:
scientists engaged in our programs.
labs certified or pursuing certification.
products certified to the ACT® Ecolabel.
countries with active certifications.
Our Mission
To build a global culture of sustainability in science to transform the research community into a global leader on environmental sustainability. Through education, community engagement, and market leading certification tools, we are inspiring the scientific community to integrate sustainability into everything they do.
Brand Pillars
Our certifications define what a green lab is, and provide a proven pathway to achieve that goal.
We shift norms, policies, and systems to center sustainability in science.
We empower scientists, students, and suppliers to take action.
Our vision is a world where all science is conducted in ways that benefit both people and the planet. Our ambition is to make sustainability the global standard for science.
As a UN Race to Zero partner, we help hold the industry accountable — tracking its overall environmental impact and measuring progress toward zero carbon.
The world can’t wait – neither can science.
Whether you’re a researcher, supplier, or policymaker — your role matters. From green protocols to sustainable supplies, find the tools and community to rapidly advance change.
