Third-party certified sustainability labels are a key strategy for purchasers transitioning to more sustainable supply chains. They can also serve as an important differentiator for suppliers that have committed to producing in more responsible ways. The ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label was designed to address the need for clear, third-party verified information about the environmental impact of laboratory products. By emphasizing Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end-of-life, ACT makes it easy to choose more sustainable products. ACT-labeled products are independently audited by SMS Collaborative, LLC (SMSC) and published by My Green Lab. Sign up for this webinar presented by CHARME learn about the ACT program and how it is being used by health systems and MedTech companies to support a market transition towards more sustainable supply chains.
