Environmental Sustainability
At Roche Indy, ensuring a safe work environment and protecting the health of our employees is as important as our mission. And our emphasis on sustainability has allowed us to expand our business while minimizing our ecological footprint. Some of our sustainability efforts include:
♦ Since 2015, Roche Indy has been powered by 100 percent renewable electricity (an estimated 54 percent reduction in CO2 emissions).
♦ In 2016 we recycled 67% of our trash, which is nearly double the national recycling rate of 35% (U.S. EPA data). Additionally, our campus is essentially a zero-landfill site.
♦ We have converted 90 percent of Roche Indy fleet vehicles to high-fuel efficiency vehicles.
♦ In 2018, over 850 tons of cardboard and paper were recycled. This equates to over 14,000 mature trees.
♦ In 2018, Roche implemented a new composting program which collected 13 tons of food waste.
♦ The Roche Indy site utilizes a central chiller plant that does not use ozone-depleting (halogenated hydrocarbon) refrigerants.
♦ Roche has been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, CDP and Climate Leaders | U.S. EPA for its global sustainability.
