Coming Soon: A Global Gathering for Sustainable Science
The 2025 My Green Lab Global Summit will take place virtually on Sep 17–18, 2025 (8–11 AM PDT / 11 AM–2 PM EDT / 4–7 PM UK)
The My Green Lab Global Summit 2025 will unite the global scientific community to tackle today’s most urgent sustainability challenges. This year’s theme, Rising to the Challenge, explores how science can lead through shifting regulations, growing demands for transparency, and the fight against greenwashing.
We’ll spotlight the enhanced My Green Lab Certification and ACT Ecolabel, share real-world impact, and highlight bold ideas from leaders around the world.
We are now accepting speaker proposals! If you have an inspiring story or practical solution to share, we want to hear from you.
Congratulations to Bruker for the launch of their new product! The proteoElute, Bruker’s latest nanoHPLC system, features reduced PFAS content, reduced solvent consumption, and is shipped in 100% packaging made from 100% recycled material.
The proteoElute has received the My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel, setting new standards for sustainable lab products.
PSCI Endorses Converge Supplier Initiative to Cut Scope 3 Emissions in Pharma
My Green Lab’s Converge Supplier Initiative has been officially endorsed by the PSCI - Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative! This endorsement underscores the growing momentum across the pharmaceutical industry to reduce supply chain (Scope 3) emissions and foster more sustainable lab operations.
The Converge Supplier Initiative is a unique industry collaboration designed to support pharmaceutical suppliers, including CROs, CMOs, and CDMOs, in achieving My Green Lab Certification. It brings together leading pharmaceutical companies, including AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, MilliporeSigma, Takeda, and UCB, to educate and empower their outsourced research partners. The result? Lower emissions, reduced energy and water use, lower costs, and aligned sustainability goals from lab bench to boardroom.

Valuable tips and hacks to help green your lab: a 'How to Green Your Lab' monthly series!
This month's #HowToGreenLab is to find lab products with a lower environmental impact through the ACT Ecolabel database!
Designed for scientists and procurement pros, this searchable tool gives you clear, third-party verified info on the environmental impact of lab products so you can make smarter choices without the guesswork.
The ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) Ecolabel evaluates products across key lifecycle stages, including manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end-of-life, to provide a trusted benchmark for lab sustainability.
Sustainable Procurement Pledge and My Green Lab: Accelerating Collective Impact
Join the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP) and My Green Lab for an engaging and solutions-focused session on how procurement professionals can take action to drive environmental sustainability in laboratories.
This one-hour webinar will highlight two of My Green Lab’s flagship tools, the My Green Lab Certification and the ACT Ecolabel, that are transforming the lab sustainability landscape. You'll hear from James Connelly, CEO of My Green Lab, along with sustainability leads from IQVIA and Thermo Fisher Scientific, who will share insights into how these programs are helping organizations reduce their environmental impact, meet their customer expectations, and prepare for emerging regulations on lab sustainability and greenwashing.
Technology Networks Teach Me in 10 Featuring James Connelly
Laboratories are essential hubs of scientific discovery; however, they’re also among the most resource-intensive environments, consuming significantly more energy and water than typical workspaces. In this episode of Teach Me in 10, we’re tackling the big question: How can labs become more sustainable without compromising the integrity of research?
Join James Connelly, CEO of My Green Lab, as he outlines practical, high-impact ways labs can reduce their environmental footprint. From minimizing single-use plastics and improving energy efficiency to managing chemical waste and pursuing green certifications, Connelly shares actionable strategies for creating a more sustainable scientific enterprise.
