Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability

At NEB, we are motivated by a set of core, foundational values that are as true today as they were when the company was founded in 1974:

Science should be used to expand our understanding of the world around us
Scientists can also act as humanitarians
All species, great and small, benefit when we care for the environment
Great science is fundamentally creative and artistic, and changes the way we see and experience the world

While passion for science helps us to drive discovery, we continue to be guided by our responsibility to each other and our community, both locally and globally, to work towards a more just world. As such, our offices in the US and around the world are committed to the same core values and sustainability practices. Additionally, NEB is committed to practicing ethical science.

In 2025, NEB, Inc. achieved recertification as a B Corporation™ (B Corp™). NEB remains one of the few life-science companies to achieve this certification, which requires for-profit businesses to meet high standards of social and environmental impact. To become certified, NEB exceeded standards across various areas of governance, which include customer stewardship, treatment of employees, environmental protection, and community engagement.
