Boston – Veolia North America has announced an expanded partnership with MassBio. The multi-year contract extension is designed to allow the parties to continue providing sophisticated, safe and reliable waste management services to members along with digital energy efficiency management.
For over 20 years, Veolia North America has served as MassBio’s primary partner for meeting the waste management needs of its members. Veolia and MassBio are now expanding the scope of the contract to accelerate efforts to make the biotech industry more environmentally sustainable.
As part of the agreement, Veolia will provide MassBio members with solutions and recommendations to decarbonize buildings where MassBio members conduct research. The cities of Boston and Cambridge require property owners to reduce the carbon output of their buildings, and Veolia’s expertise will help MassBio member companies meet and exceed these requirements by promoting energy efficiency solutions.
“MassBio is thrilled to take this important step toward ensuring the long-term future success of our member companies and the groundbreaking work they are doing on behalf of patients around the world,” said Jason Cordeiro, chief operating and innovation officer for MassBio. “Veolia North America has proven year after year that they are a committed and trusted partner to MassBio by offering best-in-class resources to our 1,700+ members at all stages of the biopharma life cycle.”
“As the world’s leading environmental services company, Veolia is proud to support MassBio and the important work being done by their member companies to revolutionize healthcare and the sciences,” said Bob Cappadona, president and CEO of Veolia North America’s Environmental Solutions and Services business. “As part of our GreenUp strategy, we aim to help our customers meet their business goals and ambitions to make the planet a better place for future generations. That’s a passion that we share with MassBio, which is why this partnership has been such a success for over 20 years now.”
