Environmental Commitment

CareDx understand the limitations of the environment and seeks ways to minimize our impact. Our main buildings headquartered in California are energy efficiency certified and meet stringent San Francisco Bay Area requirements to mitigate negative environmental impacts. Several of our offices are in new energy efficient LEED buildings. Our offices provide recycling and use low flow fixtures and water wise appliances to conserve water. We take additional measures to conserve energy through LED fixtures, light timers/sensors, and thermostat regulation, and have implemented measures to reduce capacity and consumption during non-working days. Additionally, our offices provide recycling and use low flow fixtures to conserve water. We have made a concerted effort to reduce consumable plastics.

Our social responsibility is expressed in many ways, such as our company-sponsored clinical trials and involvement in shaping public policy for transplant patients, providing education and training about important medical issues to patients and healthcare professionals, our involvement across the scientific community, and hosting or participating in medical conferences and symposiums.
