Sustainability in research – the Net Zero Pledge

MRS-NET-ZERO-WIDE

MRS Net Zero Pledge - manifesto for sustainability

The research sector is taking steps to be part of the solution to the growing climate emergency. Our sector has two key responsibilities: to mitigate our impact on the environment and also to help our customers understand their own impact and recommend solutions.

The MRS Sustainability Council was established in 2020 to review the sustainability issues facing our sector. With an ever-increasing number of clients demanding a commitment from suppliers, we launched the MRS Net Zero Pledge in June 2021 to ensure that the research sector goes carbon neutral by 2026.
