Hello again from the International Freezer Challenge! Today we bring you an inspiring story from a group participating in this year's competition: the Sanofi Pasteur R&D group in Cambridge Massachusetts. They reached out to us and wanted to share the progress they've made this year, and we hope this will inspire you to continue dedicating time and energy to the Freezer Challenge and laboratory sustainability efforts more generally.



This year's International Freezer Challenge now has over 150 labs from 18 different countries participating in this year's competition. Amazing!






The ACT Label, which stands for Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency, offers labs the opportunity to reduce their environmental impact by making smarter purchases, with clear, third-party verified information about the impact of lab products. The ACT Label provides transparency around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end of life, helping you better understand the impact of the products your lab is purchasing.
