With a focus on transitioning our value chain to a low-carbon economy, we are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing waste generation, monitoring our water use, raising associate awareness and complying with all regulatory requirements.
One initiative is our Environmentally Preferable Products (EPP) Program. Through our EPP program, we can provide greater transparency to our customers, helping them make informed sustainable purchasing decisions. Working with our suppliers, we identify and designate sustainable products, materials and equipment based on one or more of the attributes listed below:
• Energy efficient
• Water efficient
• Waste reducing
• Sustainable materials
• Low manufacturing impact
• Safer human and environmental health
• Sustainable packaging
• Product transparency
By providing this product information, our teams can partner with our customers to benchmark sustainable purchasing today and begin to identify more sustainable alternatives.
Our EPP Overview pdf explains how products become an EPP and how to access EPP products on VWR.com.
A selection of our trusted, new and innovative sustainable products will be showcased at our booth, J30, at LAB Innovations 2023.
