Carbon Reduction & NHS Evergreen Commitment
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the NHS ambition for a net zero health service.
Our approach is focused on measurable carbon reduction, responsible procurement, and transparent reporting, aligned with the NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment.
Our commitment:
Net Zero by 2035
We are working towards net zero emissions by 2035, with a clear focus on:
• Measuring and managing our emissions across our operations and value chain
• Reducing carbon through practical, evidence-led actions (energy, travel, logistics, suppliers, and waste)
• Reviewing progress regularly and improving year-on-year performance
• Supporting NHS customers with sustainable supply options and responsible product/service delivery
NHS Evergreen Alignment
We recognise the importance of the NHS Evergreen Standard in building a greener supply chain.
We are committed to meeting Evergreen expectations by:
Maintaining an environmental management approach with clear accountability
Tracking and improving sustainability performance (including carbon)
Working with suppliers and partners to reduce value-chain impacts
Ensuring compliance with relevant environmental and procurement requirements
Transparency & evidence.
We will make sustainability information available to NHS stakeholders, including evidence of:
• Our carbon reduction plan and progress updates
• Evergreen assessment status and supporting documentation
• Policies and initiatives supporting carbon reduction and responsible operations
