Labs certified through My Green Lab® report measurable cost savings through strategic sustainability improvements:
reduction in energy consumption through lab efficiency upgrades and behavior changes in lab operations.
reduction in waste by narrowing chromatography tubing to reduce material use and waste.
gallons water saved annually from improved fume hood and autoclave practices across three labs.

Setting the standard
My Green Lab Certification is the industry’s most widely recognized lab sustainability program — endorsed by UN-backed Race to Zero and recommended by the U.S. EPA. It offers a science-based approach with clear assessment tools, verified reporting, and practical guidance to help laboratories of all kinds embed sustainability into everyday practice.
Turn your sustainability goals into action with a proven framework that brings structure, credibility, and momentum to every lab environment.
by over 4,000 certified labs and 50,000 scientists across 50+ countries.
by UN-backed Race to Zero and the U.S. EPA for its rigorous, science-driven approach.
by independent third-party verification by Impact Laboratories to ensure integrity and accountability.
My Green Lab Certification turns ambitious sustainability goals into daily lab actions—guiding progress across 14 core categories from energy to engagement.
My Green Lab partners with Impact Laboratories to independently verify certification results – bringing trust and integrity to your sustainability journey.
Our structured program is built around four key stages.
Recertification occurs 2 years after certification date. Baseline step isn’t required for recertification.
Labs receive a certification level—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Green—based on the depth and breadth of sustainable practices adopted.
We proudly operate 17 labs globally, all of which have achieved My Green Lab Certification. The My Green Lab program has been instrumental in fostering a culture of sustainability and engaging employees at all sites. It helps support our mission to accelerate innovation for a healthier world and features prominently in our annual sustainability report.
Built-in tools make it easy to engage teams, track progress, and measure sustainability impact effectively.
Launch your sustainability journey with a quick, lab-wide survey designed to raise awareness and encourage participation in sustainability efforts.
