Environment
Nxera Pharma is committed to reducing our environmental impact through our sustainability initiatives and our environmental management systems.
In 2023, Nxera Pharma laboratories secured My Green Lab certification, endorsed by the United Nations’ Race to Zero campaign, recognizing outstanding laboratory sustainability.
Over 70 UK R&D researchers participated, achieving Green certifications across both our biology and chemistry laboratories, the highest level of certification. These awards reflect Nxera Pharma’s dedication to continuously assess, review, and enhance laboratory practices in order to minimize environmental impact. Prioritizing sustainability, we actively contribute to global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and advance a greener future. Our focus includes clear waste reduction through established recycling protocols and the reduction of single-use plastics. We embrace a paperless approach in labs and offices whenever possible, promoting digital documentation and communication. Through ongoing monitoring and improvement, we are committed to maintaining and enhancing our labs environmental performance.
In addition, with efficient energy use a core priority at our offices and R&D facility, our Environmental and Sustainability Group members are all My Green Lab Ambassadors, focused on encouraging our laboratories to be more sustainable.
