Net Zero Design Guide

Net-zero building design is essential for Thermo Fisher Scientific to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.​

This comprehensive design guide for our suppliers is intended to inform the design and construction process, establish base ​expectations, help track performance, and ultimately ensure that new building construction and renovations are developed ​with a net-zero emissions approach.

Design for Sustainability

At Thermo Fisher, we continually evaluate how we design, source, make, use and ship our products, as well as how​ we return, recycle or dispose of them at end of life. We seek out ways to improve the health and environmental impacts across the product life cycle, including sourcing better materials, implementing alternative ways to make and ship our products, and developing strong partnerships with suppliers and customers to help advance our shared sustainability goals.
