Design and implement a sustainable and integrated environmental and biosafety policy
Sciensano is committed to a sustainable and green policy. However, this can only be successful if everyone is convinced of this philosophy. This implies that (constant) awareness-raising of employees and senior management is one of our most important tasks. In this way, we develop an internal environmental policy in order to be able to stay in line with environmental legislation at all times. Through information sessions and targeted actions, we raise awareness among our employees to minimize Sciensano’s environmental impact. Since, at Sciensano, environmental policy goes hand in hand with biosafety policy, we make sure that scientists understand and properly comply with the guidelines for working within contained use (as stipulated in biosafety permits).
Finally, we also provide the secretariat of the ethics committee.
