Sustainability and ESG
Supporting sustainable science through responsible laboratory services
At Harrow Green Laboratory Services, we believe that protecting scientific research and protecting the environment go hand in hand. Our approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles is embedded throughout every laboratory relocation, biobanking project and specialist logistics service we deliver.
From extending the lifecycle of laboratory assets to reducing waste and supporting local communities, we work with our customers to deliver sustainable solutions without compromising quality, compliance or operational continuity.
Whether relocating a research laboratory, decommissioning equipment or providing secure storage for valuable scientific materials, our goal is to help life sciences organisations achieve their own sustainability objectives while safeguarding their critical work.
Reducing waste and extending asset life
Laboratory relocations often present opportunities to minimise waste and maximise the value of existing assets.
Rather than sending redundant laboratory equipment, furniture and infrastructure to landfill, we work with customers to identify opportunities for reuse, refurbishment and responsible recycling wherever possible.
Our sustainable approach helps laboratories reduce their environmental impact while supporting circular economy principles and improving resource efficiency.
Our environmental commitments include:
- Responsible recycling and disposal of laboratory equipment and materials
- Reuse programmes for suitable furniture and infrastructure
- Sustainable project planning to reduce unnecessary transportation
- Efficient logistics to minimise emissions and fuel consumption
- Waste reduction initiatives across our operations
- Supporting customers in achieving their own ESG objectives.
Protecting valuable scientific resources
The preservation of biological samples, research materials and specialist laboratory equipment is itself an important element of sustainability.
By delivering safe, compliant relocations and secure biobanking solutions, we help prevent the loss of irreplaceable research, reducing unnecessary duplication of experiments and protecting years of scientific investment.
Our specialist handling procedures, temperature-controlled logistics and secure storage solutions ensure valuable scientific assets remain protected throughout every stage of their journey.
Supporting people, research and communities
Our people are at the heart of our business. We invest in specialist training, health and safety, and professional development to ensure our teams deliver exceptional service while maintaining the highest standards of compliance.
Beyond our own organisation, we are committed to supporting the wider community through charitable partnerships and responsible asset redistribution programmes, giving suitable equipment and furniture a second life where possible.
By helping laboratories relocate efficiently and safely, we also support the important work of researchers, clinicians and scientists who are driving innovation and improving lives around the world.
Governance and Compliance
Trust is essential when handling sensitive research, biological materials and critical scientific equipment.
Our robust governance framework ensures every project is delivered with transparency, accountability and full regulatory compliance. From secure chain of custody procedures and documented processes to comprehensive risk management and project controls, we maintain the highest standards throughout every relocation and biobanking project.
Our commitment to quality assurance and continuous improvement gives customers confidence that their research assets are being managed safely, securely and professionally.
Sustainable laboratory relocations
Every laboratory relocation presents an opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Our project managers work closely with customers to develop relocation strategies that minimise disruption, optimise logistics and identify opportunities for reuse and responsible disposal. By integrating sustainability into project planning from the outset, we help laboratories relocate in a way that supports both operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
ESG that supports scientific progress
Sustainability is more than an environmental commitment – it’s about creating long-term value for our customers, our people and the communities we serve.
At Harrow Green Laboratory Services, our ESG principles guide the way we plan, manage and deliver every project, helping life sciences organisations move forward with confidence while contributing to a more sustainable future for science.
