We are committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, in line with NHS targets, and to embedding sustainable practices across all areas of our organisation and service delivery.
Our commitment includes:
- Reducing carbon emissions from our operations, head office facilities, travel and supply chain
- Promoting sustainable ways of working and environmentally responsible decision-making
- Increasing the use of digital and efficient service delivery models, where appropriate
- Minimising waste and improving recycling and resource management
- Encouraging staff awareness, engagement, and participation in sustainability initiatives
- Working collaboratively with partners, suppliers, and local communities to support environmental sustainability
- Regularly reviewing and improving our environmental performance and sustainability objectives.
We understand that protecting the environment is closely linked to improving the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve. By taking positive action now, we aim to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future for patients, staff, and future generations.
We will continue to align our approach with the NHS Net Zero strategy and support the wider transition to a low-carbon healthcare system.
