Our 4Rs Mission: Advancing Responsible Science
Charles River is proud to embrace the tenets of the 3Rs, with a long history of investing in, advancing, and championing the principles of Reduce, Refine, and Remove. We have now added a key fourth 'R:' Responsibility. Unique to Charles River, the fourth R ensures that we hold ourselves to the highest standards of animal welfare, taking ownership and responsibility for upholding these philosophies and developing solutions to reduce the impact of therapeutic research on animals without compromising patient safety.


Partnering for Innovation
Strategic partnerships and collaborations enable us to provide access to novel and innovative technologies that complement and expand our comprehensive drug discovery and development pipeline. Access to these technologies and services through Charles River allows connection and integration between studies and reduces the workflow lag and extended project management associated with managing multiple vendors.
