Employee Interviews

To provide a broader perspective on sustainability, we spoke with several Millipore employees, who shared their thoughts about sustainability, focusing on what sustainability means to them personally and why it matters to Millipore. Click on the links below to see their comments.



Jean-François Bechtold

EHS Technician (Molsheim, France)

Sustainability is about reducing our impacts, for example through recycling, to benefit future generations. By improving our environmental stewardship, we also improve customer perceptions and those of people living near our facilities. Millipore strives to develop products with leading environmental practice, and to set an example within the industry.

Anthony Campana

EHS Engineer (Bedford, MA)

Sustainability is about establishing sound, integrated, fool-proof, automated processes to utilize natural resources as efficiently as possible. Anyone can be a “one-hit wonder”, but we want to establish systems that withstand the test of time and regulation, customer audits and questions from the community. Millipore has been around for a long time and we want this to continue.

Breeda Comyns

EHS Manager (Cork, Ireland)

Sustainability to me means using the world’s natural resources in a way which will allow economies and businesses to develop while making sure that these resources are not being wasted or rapidly depleted. Harnessing and using natural resources should not pollute our environment or destroy ecological habitats, which could have serious impacts on future generations.

Sustainability is important to Millipore to ensure that our operations do not have a negative impact on the environment or on global resource depletion and so will ensure continuation of our business for future generations.

Karen Cronholm

Field Marketing Manager (Bioprocess PMT US)

As a company, we should design products that have limited impact on the environment, both for customers and for ourselves during manufacturing. I worked at the Jaffrey site for two years, and experienced the high level of environmental commitment there, for example related to water, waste and noise. This is an important way for Millipore to be responsive to its communities and customers.

Steve Dark

Environmental Resource Manager (Jaffrey, NH)

Sustainability is about recognizing that we have an obligation to minimize impacts on the environment while being a successful company. Millipore accepts as part of its whole business philosophy that this obligation is real, and we must identify and work aggressively to minimize environmental impacts. We need to continually incorporate into our business planning the means to recognize and act on opportunities to improve environmental performance while making great products.

Keith Goggin

Applications Specialist (Bioscience Lab Water US)

Environmental sustainability is about minimizing or counterbalancing any harm we do to our environment, so we can sustain resources and live a high quality of life for years and years.

On an ethical level, Millipore has a Foundation which gives money to causes that benefit the greater society. This also benefits Millipore by improving its reputation. Likewise, Millipore needs to take responsibility for how our business practices impact the world's environment. More and more, our customers and communities expect Millipore to be a good environmental citizen. Already, when our customers consider buying Millipore products, they will request from us statements about our active environmentally beneficial programs.

Michael Landadio, CIH, CSP

EHS Manager (US East)

Millipore draws upon resources to make products and meet customer needs. We must make sure we treat those resources in a way that ensures they are available for future generations and not depleted or spoiled. We can conduct business without negatively affecting future generations.

Sustainability is in part an ethical issue – it’s the right thing to do – and reflects Millipore’s values. It benefits the business as well. Although lots of companies talk the talk, Millipore walks the walk, and has been doing so for years. This can be a real advantage for us as a company.

Natalia Olive

EHS Engineer (Corporate EHS)

Sustainability, in essence, is what it takes to exist on the planet in harmony with its resources so that those resources are as available 100 years from now as they are today. This matters to Millipore because people (such as employees and customers) matter to Millipore. Maintaining a sustainable business model helps the company stay competitive and meet its goal of becoming a leader in the industry.

Michelle Stafford

Field Marketing Manager (Bioprocess PMT US)

Sustainability means having a positive impact on the environment, by producing less waste and protecting the resources we have. For as long as I’ve worked at Millipore, the company has always strived to have a positive influence on our customers and communities, not just through our products but also through our interactions.
