Thermo Fisher Scientific, (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in
serving science, today released its 2015 Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) Report. The report highlights progress in the
areas of business sustainability, employee involvement and
philanthropic giving.
“Everything we do starts with our mission: to enable our
customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer,” said
Marc N. Casper, president and chief executive officer of Thermo
Fisher Scientific. “Our CSR strategy enables employees worldwide to
fulfill this mission by getting involved at work and in our
communities. We are proud of our progress over the last year and
we’re committed to doing more.”
Business Sustainability
Thermo Fisher’s PPI Business System (practical process
improvement) empowers every employee to drive profitable growth by
continuously improving quality, productivity and customer
allegiance. In 2015, the PPI Business System delivered significant
results including a reduction in hazardous solvent used in the
production of DNA oligos by 14 tons per year, and reduced paper
waste associated with transportation equivalent to 51 million
linear feet.
Employee Involvement
An annual employee involvement survey, talent development
curricula and employee resource groups (ERGs) give Thermo Fisher
employees a voice and access to the right resources, programs and
internal networks to ensure both career and business success. In
2015, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) named Thermo Fisher one of
the “Best Places To Work” after it achieved 100 percent on HRC’s
corporate equality index.
Philanthropic Giving
Thermo Fisher’s philanthropic efforts include financial, in-kind
contributions and employee volunteerism with a focus on inspiring
students to pursue studies in STEM subjects. In 2015, the company
provided in-kind donations valued at $2.1 million to support STEM
education and research. In addition, employees logged more than
