Promega 2017 Corporate Responsibility Report Highlights Conscious Growth and Commitment to Community and Employee Well-Being

MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CSR–Promega Corporation, a leading biotechnology manufacturer, released its 2017
Corporate Responsibility Report today highlighting continued
sustainable expansion, community engagement, and initiatives supporting
employee well-being to cultivate conscious long-term growth for the
organization. Highlights from the 2017 Report include:

Sustainable Expansion

Energy benchmarking completed in the last year from the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory shows that Promega facilities are in line
with best-in-class laboratories on energy efficiency. In 2017,
the company’s global distribution hub, the Kepler Center, saw its first
full year in operation, contributing to an overall building footprint
increase of 84% globally since 2008. More than 90% of this growth was in
high-energy intensive laboratory, manufacturing and logistics spaces.
Even with these increases, Promega has been able to hold carbon
emissions constant relative to building footprint. Such evidence and
outcomes validate a core Promega value of designing and building highly
efficient facilities that are flexible, timeless and able to serve for
many decades.

Community Engagement

As a global company, community engagement takes many forms. Each Promega
location has the autonomy to focus on the unique needs of its community
through an integrative and authentic approach. The goal is to provide
meaningful global support at a local level by tapping into individual
employee passions and providing the tools and resources to empower these
employees to get involved in causes that are close to them. This is
achieved through avenues such as paid time for volunteering, matching
employee donations or collaborations with non-profits. The report
explores the diverse organizations supported in the past year.

Employee Well-Being

To inspire and support employees, Promega creates unique and flexible
workspaces, provides programs and space to encourage healthy lifestyles,
promotes mindfulness and work-life balance, and invests in employee
advancement. Predicated on decades of research and named the
differentiating factor in a resilient culture with strong leadership,
Promega has been proactively integrating emotional and social
intelligence into the workplace and during the last year has introduced
these principles to employees at various levels.

For almost 40 years, Promega has integrated the values of corporate
responsibility and sustainable business practices. The 2017
Corporate Responsibility Report, encompassing Promega philosophies
and corporate mindset, product information, sustainability practices,
work culture, and community outreach efforts, documents how the company
continues to align business practices with positive social,
environmental and business outcomes. Read the full report at www.promega.com/responsibility
