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. Presenters: James Connelly, Chief Executive Officer at My Green Lab Elizabeth Eldridge, Director of Sustainable Sourcing at Kaiser Permanente Mellissa Nguyen, Senior Program Manager, Environmental Sustainability at Vizient Matthew Yamatin, Sustainability Program Director at Thermo Fisher Scientific Register Today! https://lnkd.in/ePfcGMgC

The Carbon Footprint of a product is meaningless without context. A biobased component could have any of below CF's and all are true: > 2,8kgCO2e (cradle to grave) > 2,5kgCO2e (cradle to grave incl WTE) >-1,0kgCO2e (cradle to gate incl biogenics) > 2,7kgCO2e (cradle to gate excl biogenics) > 1,3kgCO2e (cradle to cradle (average per cycle)) In sharing data it's critical to be transparent about your LCA details: system boundaries, exclusion and inclusion criteria, data sources, etc. But most importantly, the number is only a means to an end. Companies should perform LCA's for the purpose of >understanding< their Carbon and Environmental Footprint in order to >reducing< it! _____________________________________________________________________ With extensive experience and expertise as Head of Innovation & Sustainability, I help companies start and accelerate their sustainability program.
