Avantor, Inc., a global provider of products and services to the life sciences and applied materials industries, reduced its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 9.6% compared to a 2019 baseline.
This represents progress of more than 50% toward the company's 2025 reduction goal. Details were provided in its 2022 sustainability report highlighting the company's significant progress in innovating for a sustainable future.

Avantor also engaged with key stakeholders on important environmental issues and served as a reliable partner for customers and suppliers, including identifying ways that the company’s services and products can reduce environmental impact.
