Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, from the lab to production. At Danaher, we are making significant strides: improving life sciences, reducing our ecological footprint, and creating growth opportunities for our workforce. Our efforts are detailed in the Danaher 2025 Sustainability Report. Want to learn more about our advancements? Check out the report here: https://okt.to/BDup8n

Sustainability without regulation is a wishlist and regulation without tech is a trap. One without the other fails. Regulation gives you the non-negotiable baseline. The rules that you need to play by. Technology takes it forward and makes those rules actionable, measurable, and scalable. Anything less is a slow march into a regulatory dead end. At Electro Plaza Projects Pvt. Ltd., we see this on the ground every day. We work with companies who want to comply, but have challenges in bridging the gap between ambition and execution without the right tools. Our role is to set up the right ecosystem - policy, intent, funds and technology. That’s how we move sustainability from paper to practice.

🌍 #Sustainability is not just compliance, it’s #opportunity! 🌿 As EU regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (#ESRS) reshape the #market, small and medium-sized enterprises (#SMEs) are under growing pressure to prove their environmental and social #responsibility. 💡 That’s where #GREENSMARTMED comes in. Co-funded by Interreg Euro-MED Programme, under the Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission, the project supports Mediterranean SMEs in sectors like machinery, textiles, plastics, agri-food, mobility and batteries to become: ✅ Greener ✅ More innovative ✅ More resilient By providing practical tools, knowledge-sharing and regionally adapted #strategies, GREENSMARTMED helps SMEs align with EU objectives, embrace sustainability #reporting, and secure their place in tomorrow’s green value chains. 🚀 SMEs that act now won’t just adapt, they’ll lead Europe’s sustainable #transition. 👉 Learn more about how GREENSMARTMED is turning sustainability into a strategic #asset for growth: https://lnkd.in/ds3Dsk6E #sustainability #SMEs #ESG #CSRD #GreenTransition #InterregEuroMED #circulareconomy #EUDirective #SustainabilityReporting Partnership Università degli Studi di Bergamo Eurecat - Technology Centre Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) Regional Development Fund West Macedonia Stara Zagora Regional Economic Development Agency CUEIM - Consorzio Universitario di Economia Industriale e Manageriale AFIL - Associazione Fabbrica Intelligente Lombardia TEXFOR - Confederación de la Industria Textil POLYMERIS Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 Associated Partners Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises Confindustria Lombardia Federterziario - Confederazione di Associazioni Datoriali Assocamerestero Just Transition Institute Greece Departament d'Economia i Finances - Generalitat de Catalunya FOREST BIOENGINEERING SOLUTIONS SA Regione Lombardia EDIH Zagore

Nynas Sets the Standard for Sustainable Performance A new independent study confirms it: Nynas is leading the way in sustainable product innovation. The research shows that Nynas’ products outperform many alternatives when it comes to both efficiency and environmental impact.

We’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about what growth really looks like for research sites. It’s not just about more studies; it’s about sustainability, efficiency, and being prepared for what comes next. Sometimes, the most valuable investment a site can make is in its own visibility. 👀

The challenge of finding sustainable solutions while also maintaining performance has been a hot topic in the lubricant space for many years. Innovations over the last decade have answered the call for technology that can provide new and sustainable solutions. Our CEO and Chairman of the ILMA Sustainability Committee, Matthew Kriech, recently sat down with Compoundings Magazine to discuss the rapid advancement of biobased lubricants and the exciting future that lies ahead for the lubricant industry.

Get Out of Your Lane: The Power of Bridging Expertise 🤝🌍 In recent conversations across sectors from extractives and renewables to IT, AI, finance, as well as circularity and end of life solutions, one theme stands out to me in crystal clarity. Lasting solutions to sustainability challenges almost never come from a single discipline. Real progress happens when expertise connects across boundaries. Too often, projects remain siloed. The engineer improves a process, the agronomist increases yields, specialists in AI and IT develop tools to monitor, analyse, and accelerate sustainable outcomes, finance professionals design innovative funding to scale impact, and leaders in circularity and end of life create closed-loop systems and new value from waste. Yet fresh opportunities only emerge when these worlds intersect. It is often by combining digital insights, advanced analytics, circular thinking, and financial innovation with sector-specific knowledge that the most meaningful answers are discovered. This is less about mastering every field and more about connecting dots, surfacing key issues, and fostering collaboration. In my experience across regions and industries, meaningful progress starts when pain points are identified and people work together beyond familiar roles and domains. That is where new answers and new opportunities for sustainability truly begin to appear. 🚀 Where have you seen unexpected collaboration drive real progress, or what barriers do you think still stand in the way of bridging disciplines for sustainability?
