It will also contribute to reducing Lonza CHI’s environmental impact through energy efficiency, waste reduction and resource optimization initiatives.

We believe that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, strengthening competitive advantage and contributing to a more sustainable future. With our newly established Center of  Applied Sustainability, we will integrate sustainability into the early stages of product development and co-innovate with our customers to help them meet their environmental goals through responsible sourcing, manufacturing and innovation.”
