ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)

Several Eurofins laboratories have developed dedicated training programmes in relation to good practice in terms of environmental risk management (e.g. safe use of chemicals and their application, proper waste disposal, autoclaving systems for decontamination, etc.). Moreover, Eurofins operates several laboratories that have opted for voluntary accreditation according to ISO 14001, a standard for environmental management. For example, some laboratories in France, Sweden, Spain and Ireland have been accredited according to ISO 14001 to reflect Eurofins’ commitment to safeguarding the environment. By the end of 2019, almost 40 laboratories in the Eurofins network with more than 2,000 Full Time Equivalents (FTE's) (or ca. 5% of total FTE's) were operating under ISO 14001 accreditation.
