Designed for energy efficiency

Our cold storage lab equipment is designed and manufactured with environmental sustainability in mind.

By using green refrigerants, designing for energy efficiency and building our products with recyclable materials whenever possible, we seek to protect the environment and help others do the same. Many of our products are ENERGY STAR® certified and carry the My Green Lab ACT label to provide clear, third-party verified information about the environmental impact of our equipment. We are committed to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and are continuously investing in minimizing the environmental impact of our products and packaging—designing from the bottom up to help protect the planet. 

As the world leader in serving science, Thermo Fisher Scientific supports the urgent calls for action from scientists around the world to address climate change. We have committed to becoming net-zero by 2050 and joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign led by the Science Based Targets initiative, aligning our goals with the Paris Agreement. This commitment expands on our near-term targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which are aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory.

Across Thermo Fisher Scientific, we design our products with the environment in mind and seek new ways to provide our customers with the means to achieve greater environmental stewardship.

We believe the biggest opportunity to reduce a product’s environmental impact is early in the design process. Below are some of the key steps we have taken to reduce the environmental impact of our cold storage products.

1.    Less hazardous: Natural refrigerants and green foam

2.   Less waste: Zero waste facility and recycled material

3.    More energy efficient: Low energy and ENERGY STAR certified

4.    Responsibly packaged: Recycled material and localised production

5.    Extended life: long life and recyclable

  Look for the leaf: To help make it easier to determine our greener alternative products, we have included a leaf symbol on those specific product pages.

With +150 cold storage products bearing the ACT label, the largest catalog on the market, we aim to provide the transparency necessary to enable you to make informed purchasing decisions, based on environmental sustainability.
