Environmental Stewardship

Environmental Stewardship

Mallinckrodt prioritizes environmental sustainability through responsible operations and efficient resource management. We aim to protect natural resources and minimize environmental impacts from our operations, products and services.

We do this by focusing on:

  • Emissions and Energy: We aim to minimize our carbon footprint through strategic and innovative measures.We continuously monitor and assess our energy use to uncover opportunities for efficiency, cost savings, and environmental impact reduction.
  • Water: We are dedicated to conserving water and minimizing the environmental impact of its discharge. We strive to use water effectively and responsibly through a combination of monitoring, equipment or process upgrades, reuse, and employee education programs. Three of our largest U.S. manufacturing sites were recognized for their compliance and environmental excellence in wastewater management in 2024.
  • Waste: Our facilities follow waste management strategies that aim to reduce waste generation and improve disposal methods. We consistently evaluate techniques to reduce waste throughout our operations by optimizing processes and ensuring our waste management vendors are thoroughly vetted and compliant with regulations. Our approach emphasizes recycling and recovery of materials to reduce costs, conserve resources, and enhance production efficiency.

We acknowledge the impact that pharmaceutical products can have on the environment. To promote responsible operations and reduce risks, Mallinckrodt follows stringent internal protocols designed to comply with wastewater effluent-related regulations and the requirements of our licenses and permits.

We are also focused on fostering a culture of environmental responsibility through employee-led efforts, both at work and in the broader community, as well as through collaborating with our suppliers.
