AstraZeneca
AstraZeneca is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical business, which produces innovative medicines used by millions of patients worldwide.
I’ve been able to meet more people and expand my networks across all UK sites. Having RSC accreditation in place at AstraZeneca has made that possible. It’s been useful and interesting to see how each of the sites work together and how the scheme works. It has also been very good to help develop the current student representative – it’s quite a unique opportunity for someone at my level to mentor someone and give them advice.
Domino Printing Sciences
A global reputation for the development and manufacture of coding, marking, and printing technologies.
It also gives candidates who are going through the process of gaining an award the opportunity to grow and reflect on their own professional development. The result is that as a company, we develop a workforce of well-rounded and highly trained scientists. Staff are aware that they are working to international standards and customers are aware of that as well.
Environment Agency
The Environment Agency (EA) is a Government-sponsored public body which protects the environment, people and wildlife.
Accreditation is important as it’s one of the ways our staff demonstrate that they’re a credible advisor on issues relating to the water or waste industry. If you can’t understand and explain the chemistry behind water quality, for instance, you’re undermining your own position.
National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL)
UK's national laboratory for nuclear fission is benefiting society through nuclear science.
Accreditation is important to us as, by nature, the nuclear industry is highly regulated, so we need to do things right the first time. Safety is our top priority, and we need to ensure all materials and information are secure. So it’s vital that staff are competent, professional, and credible. RSC accreditation helps us to demonstrate all these qualities.Dr Michael Edmondson, CSci, CChem, FRSC
