Promega Exceeds 2020 Energy Goals, Sets New Targets
Promega Corporation recently released its 2030 environmental goals, including a target to reduce emissions 50% from a 2019 baseline.
In 2020, the biotechnology manufacturer surpassed its previous target and saw a 44% reduction in emissions and 47% drop in electricity use compared to 2015 levels. A key strategy in this success has been the installation of three solar arrays on its Madison, Wis., campus that together generate over 2 million kWh annually and a partnership with a Dane County solar farm.
Promega plans to further cut its energy use by implementing sustainable best practices at its new Kornberg Center research and development facility, which is expected to use 65% less energy than comparable facilities. Promega previously saw success in implementing sustainable practices in production, including decreasing the size and weight of packaging and implementation of efficient transportation that reduced emissions by 32%.
“To achieve these critical long-term goals, we identify actions for the present and also pathways for the future,” Corey Meek, corporate responsibility program manager at Promega Corporation, said in a statement. “Focused efforts, employee-driven initiatives and best practices from around the world help us transform abstract goals into action and outcomes.”
