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:

Ensuring compliance with relevant environmental and procurement requirements

Transparency & evidence.

We will make sustainability information available to NHS stakeholders, including evidence of:
