Our Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance
Our commitment to wellness applies not only to the patients who rely on our products, but also to our employees and our business practices. Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) is so much more than a strategy at Lantheus. It’s a way of life. One that ensures our employees, partners and shareholders can feel good about the work we do. Every day. In every environment.
This commitment stems from our purpose to always make a positive impact, and it’s reflected in our Values to help and respect one another while driving solutions as one to benefit all.

Environmental
Our industry functions within a global ecosystem and we know that our actions must preserve and protect the environment. Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do.
In 2024, we expanded our focus on regulatory compliance and data collection facilitated by implementation of third-party environmental software. We improved controls over our data gathering and reporting processes and gained further understanding of our greenhouse gas emissions while continuing to build capability to ensure our greenhouse gas emission reporting is comprehensive and aligned with emerging regulatory requirements.
- 2024 changes include re-baselining to include all Lantheus locations, and reporting in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions as opposed to emission source, with perfluoropropane used in DEFINITY (“PFP”) and fugitive emissions from refrigeration included in Scope 1 emissions.
- 2023 increase in PFP use correlates to increased volume of DEFINITY manufacturing.
- Scope 1, Direct Emissions: Natural Gas Combustion, Diesel Combustion, PFP, Fugitive emissions from refrigeration.
- Scope 2, Indirect Emissions: Electricity Use, significant decrease starting in 2022 due to the purchase of renewable wind energy at our North Billerica location.
Lantheus also continued to demonstrate recycling best practices with participation in the RightCycle Program, a large-scale industrial recycling initiative in the scientific and industrial products industries for non-hazardous laboratory gloves, single-use apparel, face masks and safety eyewear. We also co-hosted several electronic recycling events.

Social
We embrace diversity and inclusion as a core component of our culture. And we actively promote these ideals at every level. In 2021, we sponsored two new Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), the Lantheus Diversity Connection ERG and Women Leaders of Lantheus ERG. In our hiring practices, we work closely with recruiters to ensure that we’re seeing diverse candidates and we continually focus on pay equity for all employees. Our procurement teams also place an emphasis on partnering with minority-owned, female-owned and other diverse businesses and organizations.
Our commitment to equity and inclusion is also reflected in our employee benefits, including a hybrid work environment, competitive compensation, 401(k) matching, education assistance and equity grants at certain levels.
We also invite you to explore our charitable partnerships.
Governance
Our corporate culture is one of ethics, integrity and transparency. From mandatory training on business practices to accuracy in financial reporting, we remain committed to principles of behavior that meet the highest standards—and those of our formal Ethics and Compliance Committee. We also maintain codes of conduct with our suppliers to ensure they’re operating in a legal, ethical and socially responsible manner.
