ESG targets are set in the boardroom but are met in the lab
ESG targets are decided at the top, but the changes happen in the lab. A pragmatic approach: start with visibility, then act on the data.
Every organisation has its ESG ambitions on paper by now: CO2 reduction targets, a CSRD roadmap, a sustainability report. EU policy is clear about the order of priorities: reduce and reuse before repair, repair before recycle. The European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation all push in the same direction.
For lab-heavy organisations, most of that impact sits in one place: the equipment. And that is exactly where ambition tends to stall.
