2008 Sustainability Report
|
Read Full Report | Life science and human health is at Millipore’s core, but we also see sustainability as an opportunity—and a responsibility. This sustainability report, Millipore's first, describes our major achievements, as well as priorities, in our global sustainability efforts. We provide information on our approaches to governance and environmental and social responsibility, while highlighting some of the ways in which we apply our innovative research, development, and production expertise to advance life science and contribute to a healthier world. The report includes economic, environmental, and social performance data on the issues that Millipore prioritized according to their impacts on our business and to our stakeholders. Our report aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and we have self-declared a level C. Please view our eight focus areas below to learn more about our key performance results and ongoing sustainability priorities.
