          Inequality

          harms women

          Hologic is committed to reducing our carbon footprint with headline environmental goals, but also with efficiencies in our everyday operations. 

          Hologic’s Costa Rica site achieved zero waste to landfill as part of a pilot project.

          To reduce Hologic’s Diagnostic Solutions' reliance on paperboard corrugated shipping cases, we identified a process to implement reusable plastic corrugated shipping cases.

          We’ve saved more $1.5 million dollars in 2023 by identifying additional opportunities for ocean freight, rather than air and ground transportation.
