Camurus receives highest level in My Green Lab certification
Camurus receives the highest level (Green) in certification from My Green Lab (MGL), a leading nonprofit organization promoting sustainability in scientific research. Laboratory practices were evaluated across key areas including energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, resource use, procurement, and green chemistry. Certification levels range from Bronze to Green, with Green being the highest.
“This achievement reflects Camurus’ commitment to further integrate environmentally responsible and sound sustainability practices into our laboratory operations, without compromising scientific excellence”, says Markus Johnson, Senior Vice President R&D at Camurus. “The certification is a valuable and quantitative tool for enhancing our structured sustainability work within the laboratories and supports our strive for continuous improvement.”
Camurus initiated the certification process in November 2024 with a baseline assessment and improvement recommendations from MGL. Throughout 2025, the company systematically implemented targeted changes, supported by a formed Green Team and a dedicated My Green Lab Ambassador appointed to lead the efforts. The certification received in November 2025 is valid for two years.
“The ambition is for sustainability to be embedded throughout our entire value chain”, says Iris Rehnström, Director Sustainability at Camurus. “This includes our research and development activities and the employees working in our laboratories. The certification marks an important and natural step within our sustainability journey.”
Endorsed by the UN-backed Race to Zero and recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the MGL certification is considered the gold standard for sustainable laboratory practices. Learn more: https://mygreenlab.org/programs/mgl-certification/
