Carbon Reduction Planning
Our Commitment to Net Zero by 2040
As an NHS supplier, we understand the responsibility we have in reducing our carbon footprint. The NHS has set ambitious goals for carbon reduction, and we are fully aligned with their vision to create a sustainable healthcare system.
Why It Matters?
Climate action is essential for a sustainable future. By aligning our operations with NHS England’s environmental goals, we are not only reducing our own emissions but also supporting the NHS in its broader carbon reduction journey.
Our actions
To meet the requirements set by the NHS and to ensure our operations align with their sustainability criteria, we have:
- Prepared a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) in accordance with PPN 06/21: Our CRP outlines the steps we will take to reduce our carbon emissions and measure our progress.
- Adopted Sustainable Practices: From energy-efficient operations to green transport solutions, we are actively engaged in reducing our energy consumption and carbon emissions.
- Regular Monitoring and Reporting: We track our progress through annual audits and adjust our strategies to ensure we remain on course for net zero by 2040.
We are committed to continuously improving our sustainability efforts, working alongside the NHS to help achieve their climate goals.
