Funding Will Advance Third-Party Verified Sustainability in Science

Hear from our CEO, James Connelly, in this new Technology Networks article!

funding-will-advance-third-party-verified-sustainability-in-science-398878-1280x720

Impact Laboratories, My Green Lab's commercial subsidiary, is leading the charge to bring third-party verification to lab sustainability. CEO James Connelly, in conversation with Technology Networks, explains why moving beyond self-reported claims is essential for transparency, credibility, and industry-wide progress. 

 

“I come from the building industry, and nobody in the building industry would accept a manufacturer’s claim about their product that’s not verified, whether it has to do with performance, indoor air quality, or sustainability,” said James. “For some reason, the life science industry has a lot of these first-party claims that have been acceptable.”
