Investing in the Future
As the expectations of society and needs of the customer change, Promega
aspires to evolve with them. Corporate responsibility is a part of a
foundation that supports the company’s future. Growth and long term
planning in 2015 included investments in people, facilities,
infrastructure, and products and services. Last fall, Promega Madison
unveiled the Kepler Center which serves as our global supply chain
center. In 2015, work began on renovations and expansions in California,
UK, and Germany. Further investments in innovative research this last
year resulted in 81 new patent filings, nearly 240 pending patents, as
well as 21 new product launches in the past year.
Environmental Highlights
Promega is committed to environmental stewardship and aims to integrate
the principles of sustainability across all aspects of our business,
including the way we operate our facilities, transport products, and
engage with customers. Since 2008, carbon emissions per building
footprint has decreased 7% even with a 90% increase of high-energy
intensive spaces. In 2015, we saw a reduction of 15% in water usage
across the organization which saved 4 million gallons. For the future,
goals have been set for environmental impact reductions in the areas of
greenhouse gas emissions, electricity, natural gas, water, distribution
emissions, and waste to be achieved by 2020.
Community Involvement
Promega focuses on positive interactions with our surrounding
communities and cultivate relationships to help foster a strong
community bond. Focusing on engagement and support in education,
community wellness, and creativity helps to enrich the lives of those
around us. Globally, Promega employees remain involved in their local
communities in ways that fit the unique needs of their region. The
diverse organizations supported in 2015 are disclosed in more detail in
the report.
For more than 30 years, Promega has integrated the values of corporate
responsibility and sustainable business practices into corporate culture
and activity. The 2016
Corporate Responsibility Report continues to show how Promega aligns
business practices with positive social, environmental and business
outcomes.
