Converge is a groundbreaking effort aimed at fostering a comprehensive commitment to sustainability within the pharmaceutical sector. Converge uniquely draws upon the collective influence of pharmaceutical industry leaders to propel suppliers toward reducing the environmental impact of their operational labs through My Green Lab Certification.
Benefits for suppliers
Suppliers gain substantial advantages, including cost savings through reduced energy, water, and waste usage. They also benefit from improved employee engagement in sustainability, and enhanced talent retention and attraction. The Supplier Dashboard provides secure tracking of progress, while the Impact Estimator quantifies environmental impact reductions. Educational webinars and a Supplier Network Group enable valuable peer-to-peer learning.
Benefits for pharma sponsors
Pharma sponsors gain access to the Converge Dashboard and the Impact Estimator Tool. Semi-annual reports offer insights into supplier program participation and impact. Sponsors also receive recognition at key industry events and through media exposure. Founding sponsors include AstraZeneca, GSK, Amgen, Merck, and Bristol Myers Squibb.
Note: To qualify as a pharma sponsor, organizations must have 10+ labs enrolled in My Green Lab Certification.

Converge focuses on reducing Scope 3 carbon emissions by engaging Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), and other suppliers with significant laboratory operations.
This initiative leverages the collective influence of leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to encourage their suppliers to adopt My Green Lab Certification —a proven process that saves money and reduces the carbon intensity of laboratory operations. The certification program is recognized as a key indicator of progress within the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, supports science-aligned climate action, and directly contributes to global efforts toward halving emissions by 2030.
Sponsors: Pharmaceutical companies with 10+ labs enrolled in My Green Lab Certification.
Suppliers: Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) and other suppliers with significant laboratory operations.
