At Corning Life Sciences, we are driving environmental strategies that support our customers. We challenge our manufacturing plants to decrease carbon intensity every day through energy efficiency. We have achieved the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry – which requires a 10% or more decrease in energy intensity in 5 years or less – at least once in over 90% of our manufacturing plants, and we are not done yet!
Renewable Energy at Corning Life Sciences
In 2024, 75% of our global production – encompassing over 7,000 SKUs – is covered by renewable energy through a combination of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from on-site solar, corporate virtual power purchase agreements, Guarantees of Origin, and unbundled REC purchases.
