Sustainability in research

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

We have launched a new sustainability initiative for the sector - the MRS Climate Pledge (replacing the MRS Net Zero Pledge) - to encourage research businesses to take positive climate action towards achieving net zero in the shortest possible timeframe. See the MRS Climate Pledge tab below for more details.

A day in the life of a researcher… getting greener

As well as research organisations taking steps to reduce their emissions, individual researchers can also incorporate key behaviours to get greener at work. In these videos, Lian Mico from We Are Human 8, walks us through how she is trying to be more climate friendly while working at home as well as when she’s in the office.
