Sustainability Members' Meeting | FHI Laboratory Technology

Sustainability plays an increasingly important role within the laboratory sector. The Sustainability Expertise Group brings FHI members together to exchange knowledge and experiences regarding current sustainability issues.

On Tuesday, November 17 we like to get together at Blue City, Rotterdam with the members of FHI Laboratory Technology for an afternoon with substantive sessions, a tour, and opportunities to network.

What can you expect?

During this inspiring afternoon, we will share the first results of the Sustainability Expertise Group. We will present practical tools, frameworks, and insights to help you further shape sustainability within your organization. In addition, we will engage in a discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing the entire laboratory chain.

Schuttelaar & Partners guides us through current legislation and regulations regarding sustainability, as well as developments and sustainability requirements within the supply chain. In an interactive manner, they tackle sustainability in the context of value creation.

Share knowledge and meet other members

In addition to the substantive program, there is ample opportunity to meet other FHI members. During the reception, break, and drinks, you can exchange experiences and make new contacts.

This meeting is more than just a knowledge-sharing and networking opportunity. The outcomes of November 17 form the basis for a broader sector session in March 2027, where suppliers, distributors, and end-users from laboratories will come together to determine shared sustainability priorities. Our ambition is to become more aligned as a sector: recognizing the same challenges and working together on solutions that truly make an impact.

What's in it for you?

  • Insight into current sustainability developments within the laboratory sector.
  • Practical tools and guidelines that can be applied immediately.
  • More clarity regarding laws and regulations and what this means for your organization.
  • The opportunity to contribute to thinking about joint sustainability goals for the sector.
  • A valuable network of colleagues from the laboratory chain.

Sustainability Expertise Group

The FHI Sustainability Expertise Group brings companies, laboratories, and supply chain partners together to make sustainability practical in the lab. This is important because the sector works with energy-intensive processes, strict quality requirements, and many (sometimes mandatory) consumables. We pool knowledge and practical experience, address shared bottlenecks in the supply chain, and translate new legislation and regulations into daily work. This way, organizations do not have to reinvent the wheel, and we arrive at feasible approaches and results more quickly.
