Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc. Cares

Caring for the environment is one of the many ways Ben Venue works to make a difference. Each day, employees work to fulfill the company mission to provide their customers with pharmaceutical products that improve people's health and quality of life. This commitment to others also stems deeply into how the organization gives back to the community through many avenues including responsible environmental stewardship. With support from all levels of the organization, the environmental health and safety management system continues to take on new life with each passing year. From activities including the careful consideration for environmentally-friendly construction design to numerous grass-roots employee efforts, Ben Venue cares about the footprint it maintains and the impact on the environment. Employees started a Waste Minimization and Recycling Team in 2005 to identify routes to recycle waste streams. Successes include saving valuable landfill space and significantly reducing waste disposal costs. The company recycled and reused 35 tons of material in 2005, 360 tons in 2006 and over 730 tons in 2007. A precious-metal recycling program that began in 2007 recovered over 170 troy ounces of platinum for a return of more than $265,000. A water reclamation system installed in 2006 saved more than 7 million gallons of water in 2006 with a cost savings of $57,000. The most recent accomplishment was the completion of the LEED Silver Certification application for its newest facility, a 90,000 square foot Lab and Office building. President and COO, Thomas Murphy stated, "This commitment is at the heart of how we conduct business today and is sure to bring about even greater results for the future."
