Partner Profile Millipore (NYSE: MIL) is a Life Science leader providing cutting-edge technologies, tools, and services for bioscience research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Millipore Corporation is an S&P 500 company with more than 6,000 employees in 47 countries worldwide. In 2008, Millipore completed its first purchase of renewable energy certificates, generated from the Judith Gap Wind Farm in Montana. This purchase is equivalent to the energy used in five of Millipore's U.S. manufacturing facilities. Millipore communicates its green power purchase on its product packaging and other marketing literature to inform customers that the company is working to find innovative solutions to address the complex challenges of its products and packaging. "A key focus area for us, as well as most challenging, is around product stewardship how our products are used, and what happens to them at the end of their life. Purchasing renewable energy credits for our manufacturing facilities is just the start towards minimizing the environmental impacts from our products," says David Newman, Director of Sustainability. "Longer term, it is our goal to find solutions that will eventually eliminate our contribution to climate change and operate carbon neutral," says Martin Madaus, Chairman, CEO and President. "These are big changes that will require time and significant investment, but will pay-off in the long-term for the environment, our people and our shareholders."
