Overview

We believe that sustainable activities inspire innovation and contribute to operational excellence, so we try to integrate sustainable thinking and practice into our strategy, operations, and products.

Our commitment to sustainability is centered on advancing scientific progress to enhance human health and well-being, which is at the core of what our products and services achieve, and it’s at the center of how we operate around the world. It drives us to measure and manage—and commit to reductions of—our environmental footprint. It inspires us to give back to the communities where we live and work. And it serves as a guide for how we grow and develop our high-quality workforce.

As a leading technology innovator in chromatography, mass spectrometry, and thermal analysis instruments and software, we share a common mission with our customers to leave the world better than we found it, and our sustainability efforts are just some of the ways we achieve this mission.
