Environmental Stewardship

Environmental Stewardship

Mallinckrodt is committed to responsible operations that prioritize environmental sustainability and efficient resource management. We do this by focusing on:

  • Emissions and Energy: We acknowledge the urgent need for climate action and are committed to contributing proactively to climate change mitigation. Our commitment is to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact through strategic and innovative measures, actively build a culture of sustainability and transparently report our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption data.
  • Water: We are dedicated to conserving water and minimizing the environmental impact of its discharge. We have ongoing initiatives to evaluate and enhance our water management and consumption practices throughout the organization. We strive to use water effectively and responsibly through a combination of monitoring, equipment or process upgrades, reuse, and employee education programs. Our two largest manufacturing sites were recognized for their compliance and environmental excellence in wastewater management in 2023.
  • Waste: Our facilities follow waste management strategies that aim to curtail waste production and improve disposal methods. We consistently evaluate techniques to reduce waste throughout our operations by optimizing processes and ensuring our waste management vendors are thoroughly vetted and compliant with regulations. Our approach emphasizes recycling and recovery of materials to reduce costs, conserve resources, and enhance production efficiency.

We acknowledge the impact that pharmaceutical products can have on the environment. Mallinckrodt manufacturing sites adhere to emission and effluent-related regulations as well as permit requirements, meeting specified conditions and limits. Through these stringent standards, we demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship and public health, aiming to minimize our products’ impact on biodiversity and the environment.
