Contributing to our communities

At IDEXX, the Company and its employees place a high value on contributing to our communities. With our strong portfolio of products and services, as well as our employee talent and expertise, we are uniquely positioned to help pets and people when disaster strikes. From the tragedy of 9/11, to natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami that struck Japan, and the earthquake in Haiti, IDEXX and its employees – often partnering with such organizations as International Red Cross or the World Food Programme - have aided in pet rescue and medical assistance, as well as water testing to ensure the health of people and pets. Throughout the world, the Company often responds to the needs of local animal shelters. And, most important, our employees work together as teams or individually to improve the communities where they live. In fact, IDEXX gives every eligible employee two paid days to perform volunteer work in their communities, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility and to contributing to the health and quality of life of those around us.

Sustainability

IDEXX takes sustainability seriously, with an approach that aligns with business profit objectives, ensures social and stakeholder responsibility, and demonstrates environmental stewardship. To achieve our goals, we are constantly going green: we aim to be paperless whenever possible; we “buy local” for our food services; we use greener cleaning supplies; we make it easier for employees to carpool or bike to work; we support community programs – such as Portland Trails – that promote environmental responsibility; and we provide employees with the tools they need to be green, one step at a time.
