Our commitment to a sustainable future
Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability is built already in our mission: We enable IVD customers to deliver results to billions of patients. Our mission reflects our commitment to delivering consistently high-quality raw materials to the IVD industry, ensuring that patients receive accurate diagnostic test results. Additionally, we support the research community with materials that advance their vital work to improve public health. Our mission thus has direct positive impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing.
One of our core values, We care for the people and the world around us, reflects our commitment to enhance the wellbeing of our employees and responsible use of natural resources. This commitment reaches beyond our operations to the entire supply chain through a thorough approval process, ensuring that our suppliers align with our Code of Conduct principles and act responsibly.

The core themes of our sustainability include uncompromising product quality and safety, sustainable and responsible operations in the manufacturing of raw materials for the diagnostic industry, a commitment to continuous innovation for better diagnostics, and fostering a supportive environment for the development of our talent - as our responsibility towards our employees and customers. We aim to improve in our selected themes through concrete actions, such as:
Uncompromising product quality and safety
- We ensure high product quality through strict quality management systems and comprehensive testing, supported by ongoing equipment management and employee training to maintain consistent lot-to-lot performance. By careful selection of raw materials and production technologies we ensure the chemical safety and biosafety of our products.
- Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us. With regular customer surveys we actively gather feedback, where we typically see the majority of the feedback being positive, highlighting satisfaction with our products and services. We also utilize the valuable insights from the surveys to make improvements to our product portfolio and better meet customer needs.
- These actions contribute to increased patient safety by ensuring accurate diagnostic test results and support sustainability by reducing risks in customer manufacturing processes.
Talent
- We are committed to fostering a positive work environment that supports employee satisfaction and wellbeing. Regular surveys and feedback loops guide the continuous development of our workplace culture.
- Competence development is key to our success, with all employees receiving thorough onboarding, job-specific training, and development.
- As work safety is a top priority for us, we ensure all sites follow occupational health and safety protocols, with continuous improvement actions taken as needed.
- We also promote equality and diversity by valuing and enhancing the unique perspectives of our employees, while upholding human rights as outlined by the UN Universal Declaration, ensuring equal opportunities for all.
