 | METTLER TOLEDO is committed to doing business in an environmentally responsible manner. We seek to take care of the environment and ensure that our business is conducted in compliance with applicable laws. We strive to provide each employee with a safe and healthful work environment. A sizeable part of our activities is office based and some sites include manufacturing which is in general light assembly. We strive to continuously reduce consumption of important input parameters and reduce emissions in all areas and we comply with key quality and environmental standards at our most important sites. |
METTLER TOLEDO aims to support customers in their pursuit of sustainable business practices and environmentally compatible processes. Our products help customers to increase productivity, achieve higher yield, lower material usage and create less waste, thereby improving the sustainability of their business.
Our Products Support Sustainability
Our products are precision instruments, frequently used to monitor processes. They contribute to enhancing our customers’ processes and through this to make them more environmentally compatible. This is achieved in particular by reducing the amount of substances and materials used, in addition to managing spill waste and increasing yield. The following are a few specific examples of how we realize these goals:
 | QUANTOS Supports “Green Chemistry” The QUANTOS dosing system fills substances precisely. For our customers, this means smaller sample sizes. And for the environment: less waste of the often toxic or problematic substances. The enclosed system also protects lab workers, who are not exposed to those substances any more. |

 | Safety for Consumers and Environment Product inspection solutions support product and food safety. The early detection of contaminants in packaged goods helps our customers to avoid costly and brand-damaging product recalls. As a consequence, there is less waste, and consumer exposure is prevented |
 | Ensuring Adherence to Emission Standards Diesel engines are increasingly popular. Our filter weighing solutions help to ensure adherence to particle emission standards, and we have developed the world’s first automated weighing solution tailored for diesel emission testing. |
Our Operations Go Beyond Requirements
As is typical for light industry, our manufacturing processes are environmentally unproblematic, which also applies to the large majority of our suppliers. Yet, we maintain our efforts to continuously reduce our impact on the environment. We ensure the quality of our products and prevent waste. Our operations comply with various standards: The main operations have been certified according to the ISO 9000 quality management system, the key sites also according to the ISO 14000 standard for environmental management.
Here are some more examples of our efforts:
 | Reducing Emissions and Energy Consumption Replacing old air-conditioning installations with CFC-free refrigerating machines, and installing a natural draft cooling tower at our Swiss headquarters demonstrates our continuous efforts, at all sites, to reduce the consumption of energy and water. |
 | Manufacturing Conforms to Standards The materials used in our manufacturing conform to various standards and are carefully monitored. We also pay special attention to our product packaging. For example, our SpaceSaverTM packaging system allows reducing waste material by 85%, and we offer the optional use of GreenPakTM recyclable PET. |
