Definition and Vision

Definition

Green BioPharma is the design, development, and

implementation of biological and chemical products and

processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of

substances hazardous to human health and the environment.

9

Vision

• Customers, business partners, and the community regard Genentech as

a leader in efforts that reduce its ecological footprint resulting from

its core competencies.

Green Lab Assessments

Purpose:

1. Collect baseline data on the environmental footprint of different types of laboratories at Genentech

i. Examples: chemistry, molecular biology, quality control, DNA sequencing

2. Engage employees to effect personal or behavioral change through data collection and sharing.

Method:

1. Identify candidate laboratories

2. Present process at group meeting i. Establish lab champion as single point-of-contact

3. Perform assessment and collect data

4. Report feedback with follow-up action items

Cold Storage Metrics for GNE Labs 19

1455+ total freezers on campus

Raising all freezers to -70 would

save the CO2 emissions

equivalent to 39 homes.

Unplugging freezers <10%

taking 74 cars off the road.

Greener Instrumentation Initiatives

Center for Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) core microscopy resource for Genentech Research

CALM has found LED systems to be bright, stable and reliable

- Equivalent or lower exposure times

- Intensity stable over time

- Reduced energy usage

Commitment to replace all Hg-based light sources by 2016

29

LEDs Eliminate:

• > $7000/year in bulb costs

• Disposal cost and time

• Surprise bulb failures

Roadmap for Successful Organizational Change 30

Steering Committee sets goals that align with program

mission

Program Manager researches and identifies potential initiatives and

early adopters

Prospective initiatives are tested within scientific

communities

Necessary groups, depts., etc. connected to provide resources --products, staff,

publicity, etc -- for initiative

Steering Committee helps achieve senior management support for

initiative

Track initiative progress, collect data, and communicate results

“Successful” initiative turned over to stakeholders and becomes embedded

in program, process, procedure

©2012, Genentech

Effecting Individual Change 31

Empower labs to

make better choices

Provide data to

support

recommendations

Use early adopters to

gain institutionally

relevant data

Mimic current

business processes

Gain leadership

support Recognize efforts
