At Syngene’s Bengaluru campus, a dedicated 4,000 sq. ft. facility manages non-hazardous, hazardous, and biomedical waste. Hazardous waste is collected in leak-proof containers, segregated by type, and either recycled or incinerated to prevent contamination. Hyderabad campus features secure, designated zones for each waste category, with all activities conducted under standard operating procedures aligned with local regulations. In Mangaluru, hazardous waste is managed through both onsite and offsite facilities, categorized by material compatibility. Since April 2025, Syngene has transitioned from manual logbooks to an online waste declaration system, enabling real-time data entry, improving accuracy, and ensuring easy access to waste generation records.

We have begun transitioning to recycled paper across our Bengaluru and Hyderabad campuses. Our Hyderabad office now uses 100% FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified recycled A4 paper for all printing. We have also introduced eco-friendly products, such as plantable notebooks, pens, and pencils that will grow into plants after use, encouraging environmentally conscious habits across our teams.
Green chemistry is integral to our sustainability strategy, shaping how we design, develop, and manufacture. By embedding its principles across R&D and manufacturing, we reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, strengthen regulatory compliance, lower manufacturing costs, and create lasting value for customers and the business.
We initiated a major step forward by partnering with My Green Lab (MGL), a globally recognized non-profit organization. We launched a pilot project involving three laboratories, two from Research Services and one from the Chemical Development division to pursue My Green Lab certification. Over the course of eight months, our teams undertook a collaborative journey, embedding changes in lab behavior, resource usage, and infrastructure. In July 2025, all three labs achieved Green Level Certification, the highest rating awarded by MGL, with outstanding scores:
98% - Synopolis FC Lab
95% - Cell Culture TC-1
94% - S1 SF Chemical Development Lab
This marks a strong start toward scaling sustainable practices across more labs in the future.
Syngene has joined the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute Pharmaceutical Roundtable (ACSGCIPR) as an associate member. Through this platform, we gain access to insights from leaders such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca, GSK, and Novartis, who are pioneering greener approaches for complex modalities like peptides, oligonucleotides, and antibody-drug conjugates. We are also engaging with emerging technologies such as photoredox and electrochemistry, increasingly combined with flow chemistry to reduce resource use and environmental impact.
We are launching ‘SynGREEN Lab Certification’, an internal, science-based standard modeled on the principles of My Green Lab (MGL). SynGREEN will embed sustainable practices across our laboratories, reducing energy, water, chemical use, and waste while advancing green chemistry, responsible procurement, and digital efficiency. Our ambition is to make every laboratory a SynGREEN laboratory.
As our sustainability journey evolves, we are expanding our focus beyond resource efficiency to advance biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.
In partnership with Biocon Foundation and other stakeholders, we launched a three-year initiative to restore 54 acres of mangrove habitat along the Netravati Riverbank in Mangaluru. The project supports biodiversity conservation, strengthens climate resilience, and aims to establish 100,000 mangrove saplings by 2028.
The initiative engages local students and fishing communities as Mangrove Guardians, encouraging environmental awareness and long-term stewardship of coastal ecosystems. Through training and active participation, communities play a key role in protecting and sustaining restored habitats.
World Environment Day was celebrated through a range of sustainability-focused initiatives, including e-waste collection drives, the Eco Treasure Hunt, and the Clean Lab-Green Lab challenge. Employee and community engagement activities promoted resource conservation, environmental awareness, and responsible practices across our locations.
Our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy reflects our strong 'Goal Zero' commitment, aiming for zero harm to people, the planet, and physical assets. Grounded in international standards like ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, the policy is actively implemented through regular risk assessments, internal audits, employee training, and multilingual awareness campaigns.
To redesign an early stage manufacturing route using green chemistry principles to improve environmental performance, process efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
The manufacturing route was optimized to reduce resource consumption, minimize waste generation, and lower solvent and energy requirements, while improving process efficiency and reliability.
The optimized process delivered a nearly twofold increase in overall yield, reduced cycle time by ~ 40%, and lowered Process Mass Intensity (PMI) by ~ 50%. These improvements reduced solvent, energy, and wastewater requirements, demonstrating how sustainable process design can enhance both environmental performance and operational efficiency.
To increase resource recovery and reduce reliance on conventional waste disposal methods.
We expanded the use of co-processing to recover value from waste streams and support circular economy principles.
692.96 MT of waste was recovered through co-processing in FY26, compared to zero in FY25. This reduced dependence on landfill and other disposal pathways while advancing circular resource recovery and sustainable waste management.
To improve resource circularity by recovering and reusing spent solvents generated during operations.
We partnered with authorized recycling vendors to recover valuable materials from spent solvents and reduce the environmental impact associated with waste disposal.
Large volumes of spent solvents were diverted for recycling through authorized channels, improving resource recovery and material circularity. The initiative reduced the waste disposal burden while supporting our commitment to responsible resource management and circular economy principles.
Through our My Future Plan (MFP) framework, employees are encouraged to have open career conversations and explore opportunities across the organization. Supported by targeted learning and development programs, leadership guidance, and our Internal Job Posting platform, employees can build new skills and pursue roles beyond their current domains.
Within 18 months of joining Syngene, an employee successfully transitioned from a Senior Lead Scientist role in Assay Biology to a Principal Scientist role in Translational and Clinical Research. The transition brought expanded leadership responsibilities, a promotion, and the opportunity to contribute to the establishment of a new Translational Science laboratory.
“The biggest lesson for me is to stay curious and speak up about your aspirations. When opportunities align with your skills and you have leaders who genuinely support your growth, you can achieve more than you imagined.”
As part of our commitment to sustainable mobility, we have invested over ₹13 crore since 2020 in supporting the Biocon-Hebbagodi Metro Station on Bengaluru Metro's Yellow Line. To understand the broader impact of this investment, an independent assessment was conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, in collaboration with the Isaac Centre of Public Health and supported by the Biocon Foundation, evaluating its influence on public health, accessibility, commuting patterns, and overall quality of life.
The assessment highlights how investments in sustainable mobility can deliver benefits beyond transportation, contributing to healthier lifestyles, improved wellbeing, and more sustainable urban development.
Rapid urbanization in Bommasandra and Hebbagodi had placed increasing pressure on local waste management systems, resulting in low source segregation rates and limited household participation. In partnership with Saahas Zero Waste, the Biocon Foundation conducted a baseline assessment and implemented a community-led intervention focused on awareness building, capacity development, route optimization, frontline worker training, and performance monitoring to improve waste segregation and collection efficiency.
The initiative demonstrated that awareness, community engagement, and improved service delivery can significantly strengthen waste management outcomes without requiring additional infrastructure investments.
Factory workers are often at greater risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to sedentary lifestyles, workplace stress, and limited access to preventive care. Through the Biocon Foundation, workplace health screening camps were conducted across small and medium-scale factories in Bengaluru, providing screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI, and oral cancer risk, alongside health awareness sessions and referrals for follow-up care.
The initiative enabled early detection of silent health risks, improved awareness of preventive healthcare, and connected at-risk workers to timely treatment and follow-up services.
Through the Anekal Education Summit, the Biocon Foundation brought together key stakeholders to co-create a shared vision for educational transformation by 2030. The initiative established a framework for collaboration, common outcome indicators, and a government-facing dashboard to track progress and strengthen accountability.
Anekal 2030 has created a shared roadmap for education reform, aligning stakeholders around common goals and laying the foundation for a more coordinated, outcome-driven education ecosystem.
To ensure the secure and environmentally responsible disposal of end-of-life IT assets while maximizing resource recovery.
We identified 350-400 laptops and desktops across our Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mangaluru sites that had exceeded refurbishment viability. Assets were securely sanitized and disposed of through CPCB-authorized recyclers, ensuring traceability, compliance, and material recovery.
The initiative prevented hazardous e-waste from entering landfill and informal disposal streams while strengthening compliance with India's E-Waste Rules. To further extend asset life and social impact, we have adopted a 7-year refresh trigger, centralized e-waste tracking, employee buy-back schemes, and NGO donation partnerships.
To strengthen supplier ESG performance and decarbonization readiness across the supply chain.
In partnership with the Sustainable Procurement Pledge, we implemented a structured supplier engagement program focused on ESG assessments, capability building, performance benchmarking, and targeted improvement plans to enhance supplier sustainability maturity.
The initiative strengthened supplier engagement, improved sustainability performance across the value chain, and laid the foundation for measurable Scope 3 emissions reductions in support of Syngene's decarbonization journey.
