Our Mission
Sustainability in Action
At Bio-Rad, we believe science should move the world forward while being mindful of its impact. That’s why we’re working to make our operations more sustainable—creating value today while taking responsible steps to support the future. Our journey has always been rooted in values that matter: Focused, Accountability, Sustainability, and Together. These guide how we show up—for our customers, our teams, and the communities around us. We focus our sustainability efforts on three areas that make the biggest difference: running our operations responsibly, caring for the planet, and giving back to people.

Responsible Innovation—Improving Lives Through Science and Sustainability
A lot has changed at Bio-Rad over the years, but one thing hasn’t—our commitment to speed up scientific discovery and improve healthcare.
That commitment is at the heart of everything we do. It’s taken us down new paths, sparked bold ideas, and led to solutions that continue to make a real difference in people’s lives. With that progress comes responsibility. Every Bio-Rad employee, at every level, shares a dedication to doing business with honesty and integrity.
Sustainability is another way we live our values. We’re growing our business while working to reduce our footprint on the planet. We’re building a safe and inclusive workplace where people can do their best work. And we’re giving back—by supporting our communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
We’re excited to share the progress we’re making and how Bio-Rad is helping improve lives in a responsible way.
Environmental Sustainability
Cutting Carbon for a Greener Future, Together
From 2019 to 2023, our North American and European sites reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by adding on-site solar, upgrading to LED lighting, and choosing renewable energy sources. In 2023, we took a closer look at our past emissions data—going back to 2019—to validate the numbers and set a stronger, more reliable baseline for tracking progress and shaping future goals. This work is ongoing, and we continue to expand these efforts across additional sites to meet our long-term sustainability goals.
