Building on years of strong work by our teams, sustainability is embedded in how we run our laboratories. In 2025, all Gubra labs achieved My Green Lab certification at the highest “Green” level, reflecting excellence in energy efficiency, waste reduction, chemical handling, and sustainable procurement.

My Green Lab is the industry’s most widely recognized lab sustainability program, endorsed by UN-backed Race to Zero and recommended by the U.S. EPA

We support continuous improvement through a dedicated group of Green Lab Ambassadors who drive awareness and changes across teams.

Our lab activities rely on a range of materials, many made from plastics, chemicals and regents. We work to reduce environmental impact through circular solutions, smarter sourcing, and waste minimization.

We follow the 12 principles of green chemistry, reduce hazardous substances, and – seek to maintain the highest safety standards for handling regents and chemicals.

Guided by our holistic approach to ESG, Gubra aspires to be a catalyst for a future, where ecosystems are not just protected, but actively regenerated and allowed to thrive. We pursue this vision through a dual approach: minimizing our own environmental footprint across operations, while boldly investing beyond our footprint in projects that restore nature’s vitality and foster flourishing biodiversity through Gubra Green.

We believe diversity and inclusion are essential for innovation and long-term success. We target at least 40% representation of the under-represented gender in the Board, Executive Leadership and across management, and have maintained equal gender representation since 2023

We work systematically to ensure equal opportunities in hiring, career development, and leadership representation. We support physical and psychological well-being and seek to create a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and able to perform at their best.

Gubra’s Green Panel is an employee-driven initiative, comprising colleagues from across the organization, that plays a key role in advancing our environmental agenda. The Panel drives internal engagement through campaigns, events and tangible initiatives that promote more sustainable behaviours across Gubra.

By empowering employees to contribute and act, the Green Panel helps embed sustainability in our daily operations and ensures that our environmental ambitions are reflected in how we work.

At Gubra, our kitchen is an integral part of our culture and daily work life. Our primarily plant-based offering features high-quality, primarily organic homemade meals sourced from mostly local small suppliers and designed to support health, energy, and social connection.

Guided by clear principles, we prioritise organic and pesticide-free ingredients. We source seasonal ingredients from local producers and minimize food waste. Meat is used as a seasoning when it fits the menu. The menu is never the same over the course of the year.
