Sustainability committee

We are in the midst of an unprecedented climate crisis, and we all have a responsibility to take action. Research laboratories consume approximately ten times more electricity and four times more water than offices of the same size and generate an estimated 5.5 million tonnes of plastic waste per year. It is therefore imperative to make changes in the way we work, in the management of the waste we produce and to take an active part in the fight against this crisis.

The main objective of the Sustainability Committee is to promote and encourage sustainable and responsible practices in all areas of CBM’s activity, thus ensuring an effective commitment to the conservation of the environment and biodiversity. To this end, we are working on a series of relatively simple proposals with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of our centre and promoting greener practices.
