Boston— Veolia North America has announced an expanded multi-year partnership with MassBio to provide enhanced environmental and sustainability solutions to Massachusetts’ life sciences sector. The agreement deepens a long-standing collaboration that aims to reduce waste, boost recycling, and drive decarbonization in lab and research facilities.
Under the renewed contract, Veolia will continue offering comprehensive waste management services to MassBio’s 1,700+ member companies, which include many of the region’s top biopharmaceutical firms. In addition to managing hazardous and medical waste, Veolia will now provide advanced building energy management and digital metering services to support energy efficiency and compliance with climate regulations in Boston and Cambridge.
“For over 20 years, Veolia has helped our members stay compliant and environmentally responsible,” said Jason Cordeiro, Chief Operating and Innovation Officer at MassBio. “This next step ensures our members can continue their groundbreaking work while contributing to a more sustainable future.”
MassBio, headquartered in Cambridge, represents a major hub of the global biotech industry. With increasingly complex environmental demands, its members rely on expert partners to meet strict regulatory standards while also striving for greater sustainability.
Bob Cappadona, President and CEO of Veolia North America’s Environmental Solutions and Services business, said the expanded focus aligns with Veolia’s global GreenUp strategy, which promotes environmental innovation and carbon reduction.
“Our work with MassBio supports the incredible mission of their members to advance healthcare,” Cappadona said. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to safety, compliance, and creating a cleaner, more sustainable planet.”
The partnership will help member companies meet local mandates to cut emissions from commercial buildings, contributing to broader state and municipal climate goals.
