Promega has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the company announced recently.

According to a release, this commitment begins a defined process to develop science-based targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the company’s global operations.

“Joining this effort reflects our ongoing commitment to science-informed environmental responsibility,” Promega Corporate Responsibility Program Manager Corey Meek said in a statement. “We’ve taken a careful approach to ensure our targets are supported by a clear path to achievement. We approach this effort with the same long-view perspective that informs our decision-making and direction across the organization.”

Promega will engage in a 24-month cross-functional process to model, define and submit its science-based targets.
