Our Approach

To ensure that we have a consistent and widely recognised approach to environmental performance improvement across all our facilities we decided to identify and achieve certification to the appropriate international standards. Our ISO 14001 environmental management system facilitates the assessment of all activities across all operations and sites and initiates actions to foster a culture of continual improvement.

We are also implementing ISO 50001, a key standard in energy management and conservation across all our operational facilities. This standard provides a framework of requirements for us to develop a policy for the more efficient use of energy and implementation will form an important part of our path to net zero emissions.

In 2024 Almac successfully completed our first ISO 14064-1 verification. This validates our commitment to accurate and reliable reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as underscoring our dedication to environmental sustainability and transparency. We were successfully reaudited in 2025.

In each country in which we operate the relevant legislation governing environmental issues is identified and documented in a legal compliance register. Compliance against each piece of legislation is assessed and the relevant compliance indicators documented.

As a global organisation we strive to ensure that all sites meet the highest standards of environmental performance. To demonstrate this we have set a number of global targets on issues such as climate and waste management.

Our Actions

As we move towards our net zero goal, we are pleased to share that 54% of our operations are now powered by renewable energy. Key milestones include securing a 2024 virtual power purchase agreement to supply wind energy to our Craigavon headquarters and adopting renewable energy credits (RECs) for our U.S. locations, both represent significant advances in this area.

We continue to actively investigate renewable energy projects across our global manufacturing sites to reduce carbon emissions and are exploring options such as on-site solar installations to meet our long-term goals.

We are also implementing energy efficiency projects across sites to optimise operations and reduce energy consumption. As part of this effort, we have partnered with Siemens to deploy advanced technologies and solutions that support our energy efficiency objectives.

Engaging with our supply chain

Our analysis has confirmed that approximately 83% of our emissions are in our value chain and our scope 3 methodology and assumptions were validated by our ISO14064 audit and certification. This year we have initiated a project to start collecting and tracking scope 3 emission data across all categories in our supply chain. Once we establish a baseline we will:

• Work with strategic vendors to set carbon reduction targets in alignment with Almac’s net zero commitment; and
• Encourage these strategic vendors to engage with SBTi to verify these targets.

Almac has launched a supplier engagement programme to drive sustainability improvements across its supply chain. The initiative uses a dedicated digital tool to track supplier performance on emissions and encourage collaboration toward net zero targets.
