Sustainability for the Future
Earth’s finite resources are depleting at an unsustainable rate due to excessive human extraction and overuse, consequentially leading to rises in greenhouse gas emissions. Since the United Nation’s launched its collection of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs/Global Goals) in 2015 serving as a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all,”1 many global organizations have pledged to align with these goals taking drastic, yet necessary action in reducing their carbon footprint to protect the planet from rising greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change. In this Media Room, we share newsworthy information on what Agilent and our collaborators are doing around environmental sustainability.
Global Lab Sustainability Survey Sheds Light on Progress Towards Greener Labs
Science and technology are key to a more sustainable future. However, research labs can be resource and energy intensive, with many labs using a lot of water and energy, so it can be challenging to reduce this without affecting operations. Even so, a recent survey* shows the future is bright, with many labs already taking steps to become more sustainable.
