Environmental and social responsibilities
Our business was founded on the vision of making a positive impact and we are committed to understanding and improving our environmental and social performance so that we can make sure this vision is realised. This year we are launching our sustainability strategy - product, planet, people - as part of our commitment to apply a sustainability-embedded mindset to our entire value chain — from our products to our team, and to our global footprint.

Oxford Nanopore Education
Oxford Nanopore Education aims to make a profound impact on society by embracing inclusivity and equipping the next generation in the spirit of Oxford Nanopore Technologies' mission.
By upskilling future scientists and technologists we enable them to address and overcome some of the world’s most pressing challenges, utilising tools previously unavailable to student populations.

Plans for the future
Our sustainability strategy is inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Our strategy takes into account the positive, global impact of our products, while acknowledging that we do not operate in isolation and must also account for the wider social, environmental, and economic implications of our wider business operations and value chain.
We are committed to building sustainability considerations into the foundations of our long-term growth. Our first Sustainability Report provides an update on our progress throughout 2022 and our strategy for the future, to ensure a positive impact of our products on people and the planet.
