Sustainability
Powering the labs of today, while protecting the world of tomorrow.
The HighRes Commitment
We are advancing science and sustaining humanity by ensuring our technology is as responsible as it is revolutionary. Through intelligent systems and resilient design, we enable high-performance automation and environmental stewardship to coexist, powering the discoveries of today without costing us the world of tomorrow. By partnering with our colleagues, customers, and communities, we drive meaningful improvements and promote responsible business practices that create lasting value for science, society, and the planet.
Conscious Innovation
We integrate sustainability into the DNA of our technology by creating platforms that are built to evolve with science. From the initial design to the physical materials used in our devices, we prioritize resource efficiency and longevity.
Accessible Stewardship
By designing systems that help our customers achieve their own ESG goals, we turn every HighRes platform into a tool for global sustainability by ensuring every scientist can run efficient, low-waste experiments.
Operational Excellence
We apply the same intelligent orchestration we bring to our customers' labs to our own global operations, creating reliable, data-driven systems to minimize energy, water, and carbon intensity across our facilities.
Human-Centric Impact
Our commitment extends beyond the lab bench. We foster a culture of responsibility by supporting the communities where we operate and ensuring our growth contributes to a more equitable and resilient society.

Sustainability Working Group Founded
2017
Establishing our foundational commitment to environmental responsibility. Spearheaded by the Axel Johnson Sustainability Initiative, this marked our first formal step toward integrating stewardship into our corporate identity.
Sustainability Team
Established
2019
We broadened our scope to increase employee involvement and engagement. By moving from a working group to a dedicated team, we began embedding sustainability into our organizational culture.
Formalized Emissions and KPI Tracking
2021
We launched our first comprehensive program for tracking global energy and governance data. This move toward a data-driven approach provided the reliable baseline necessary for measurable environmental impact.
Carbon Neutral
Certification
2022
A major milestone in balancing our operational footprint. Through carbon management and purchased offsets, we achieved a neutral status that we have proudly maintained and verified through the present day.
CDP and EcoVadis
Disclosures
2023
Transitioning to transparent, third-party validated reporting. By participating in CDP and EcoVadis, we opened our practices to external scrutiny to build trust and reliability with our global customers.
SBTi Validation
(Science Based Targets)
2026
Formal validation of our near-term targets by the SBTi marks a new chapter. We completed the complex process of inventorying all emissions to commit to targets that will align our long-term carbon reduction trajectory with the latest climate science. We are now rolling out our refreshed ESG Mission and Pillars, We are now moving beyond doing less harm" to orchestrating a future where high-performance science and stewardship are inseparable.
