IPSWICH, Mass., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New England Biolabs (NEB^®), a leader in the discovery and production of innovative products tailored for molecular biology research, today announced it has achieved recertification as a B Corporation™ (B Corp™). NEB remains one of the few life-science companies to achieve this certification, which requires for-profit businesses to meet high standards of social and environmental impact. To become certified, NEB exceeded standards across various areas of governance, which include customer stewardship, treatment of employees, environmental protection, and community engagement.

"Over fifty years ago, NEB was founded with the belief that scientists, acting as humanitarians, can make invaluable contributions towards a more sustainable, healthy, creative and informed society," said Salvatore Russello, CEO of NEB, "The life sciences have evolved, but our commitment to our founding principles remains steadfast, and we're honored that our impact has been recognized in recertification as a B corporation."

"There are so many interconnected factors that demand conscious attention from life science companies who are committed to social and environmental responsibility," said Levi Rogers, Sustainability Manager at NEB. "We want other life science companies to look at our approach to important, but challenging questions, and have a better idea of what is possible."

Examples of NEB's recent philanthropic and sustainability initiatives include:

• LEED^® certification of a new 100,000 square foot expansion at NEB's main laboratory facility in Ipswich, MA, which earned LEED certification in 2007.
• Opening of a new LEED-Silver early learning center to provide childcare for employees and members of the local community.
