We’re committed to positively impacting the environment and giving back to our communities—making a difference in the industries we serve.

Leading with Commitment + Innovation: Shaping a Sustainable Future

Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Committee guides our dedication to environmental stewardship, health and safety, corporate social responsibility and sustainability.

We proactively manage key ESG opportunities and risks to lead the way in preventing disease, enhancing well-being, ensuring product integrity and boosting productivity.

Surge For Water 2022-2023

On March 22, 2022, World Water Day, we began our partnership with Surge for Water to raise awareness of the global water crisis that negatively impacts 2.2 billion people. A contribution from our ESG and Sunshine committees will impact over 800 lives through their WASH hygiene and sanitation training program in rural Uganda.

We partnered with Surge again in 2023 to help make a tangible difference in the world’s water crisis.

Energy Usage Awareness Week

Sterilex’s first Energy Usage Awareness Week took place May 23–27, 2022. The goal of this week was to provide information and opportunities for people to reduce their carbon footprint and adjust some regular habits to be more environmentally conscious in their day-to-day lives. We focused on a different area each day during this week, culminating in an office-wide, work-from-home day on Friday, May 27 to reduce commuting emissions and energy/water usage in the office.
