Sartorious sites win ISCC sustainability certificates
4 Apr 2025
Life science group Sartorious has earned its first certificates from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its production sites in Aubagne, France, and Stonehouse, UK.
Further plants in Germany and Finland are to follow. The ISCC Plus certification allows Sartorius to transparently source renewable, certified raw materials for the production of plastic components, significantly reducing the proportion of fossil-based materials.
At its certified sites, Sartorius’s use of ISCC Plus-certified materials have now cut the share of fossil-based compounds three product lines by an average of 50 percent.
Said head of the bioprocess division and executive board member René Fáber: “For years, our technologies have helped customers to replace energy-, water- and chemical-intensive manufacturing processes for biopharmaceuticals with more resource-efficient single-use options, thereby reducing their environmental footprint. The ISCC Plus certification reinforces our ongoing commitment to advancing more sustainable practices.”
By 2045, Sartorius intends to fully decarbonise its business activities, achieve net zero CO2 emissions to become climate neutral. By 2030, 100% of its electricity purchased worldwide should come from renewable sources, says the firm.
