One of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry

VERDOT has been collecting carbon emissions data since 2014. As a pioneer in sustainability, we have monitored, evaluated and reduced our carbon footprint across all Greenhouse Gas (GHG) scopes including direct and indirect contributions.

  • Scope 1: direct (on-site) emissions controlled by an organization
  • Scope 2: indirect emissions associated with the purchase of utilities
  • Scope 3: indirect emissions associated with supply chain

 

We are proud to have one of the lowest carbon footprints in the field of life-science manufacturing at approximately 25% of the industry reference point (Source: Carbometrix 2023).

From concept to manufacturing, VERDOT is committed to eco-design, energy efficiency, and responsible manufacturing practices.
