Proactively Sustainable

Our commitment to people and the environment

Sustainability is a big concept – yet one that is often not taken seriously enough. As a well-established, traditional mid-sized company, Eppendorf intends to be just as concrete and consistent in the pursuit of sustainability as it has always has been with its products – just as our company slogan ‘In Touch with Life’ suggests.

For us, that means striving for the shortest distance, the most sparing consumption of resources, the solution that produces the least waste, and the sensible reuse and recycling of materials – but also the careful use of every form of energy, whether electrical power, oil, gas, or the human energy of our employees, customers and suppliers. All these things are the focus of the voluntary commitments we have made to ecological and corporate sustainability. This claim to sustainability is not one we awarded ourselves; instead, Eppendorf SE and its German competence centers have been certified according to ISO 14001.

In general, in every area of the company our workflows are designed to meet binding standards, and frequently we even exceed the legal requirements. For example, we institutionalized our occupational health management years ago, because we know that the most important success factor we have in international competition is our staff.
