Operations

Creating a culture of safety, quality and operational excellence

The stakes for life sciences and pharmaceutical companies couldn’t be any higher. Lives literally hang in the balance. That’s why Maravai’s unwavering commitment to quality assurance is mission critical to us and our customers. Safety and reliability is our priority, reflected in our robust processes and strict standards.

Embracing cutting-edge technologies and best practices, we optimize our operations for maximum efficiency. By streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity, we accelerate the delivery of innovative solutions to the market.

At the same time, we prioritize stringent quality standards and regulatory compliance in every aspect of our operations. Through robust processes and continuous improvement initiatives, we ensure the safety and efficacy of our products. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our programs and report those metrics to OSHA. If an occupational health and safety event occurs, leadership is notified, an investigation is conducted, and corrective actions are identified and implemented.

Environmental responsibility is also at the core of our operational strategy. We integrate sustainability into our operations, minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting responsible sourcing and renewable energy. Through these core principles, we create an operations ecosystem that not only drives efficiency and innovation, but also reinforces our commitment to advancing global health responsibly.

Environmental health and safety

Promoting a zero-harm workplace

Our commitment to being a leader in environmental, health and safety (EHS) aligns with our vision to build a sustainable enterprise that drives long-term value creation by promoting environmental stewardship and optimum health and well-being. Our EHS Policy covers our global operations and aligns our activities with the ISO framework.

Culture of Safety

Safety is the cornerstone of every Maravai miracle

The safety of our people is always the top priority, and we strive to create a work environment that prevents illness and injuries and promotes health and wellbeing. Team members exposed to potential hazards are required to complete annual health and safety training, including laboratory chemical safety, hazard communication and hazardous waste management. Importantly, we’ve established robust programs and processes to help prevent and mitigate incidents.
