The Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) aims to support research laboratories to embed sustainability into their work.

LEAF is a standard set to improve the sustainability and efficiency of laboratories. By joining the LEAF programme, laboratories reduce their carbon emissions and create an environment that supports research quality. Laboratories are awarded either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold level depending on how many sustainability actions they take.

We are delighted to announce that the following teams successfully submitted to the programme:

Gold Award (7 teams)

Chapman Lab (MRC MHU)
