Sustainability

We are dedicated to supporting the NHS to reach its net zero targets. We recognise our cross-functional role and the power of collaboration to influence positive change.

Our Sustainability Approach

Five strategic priority areas underpin our commitment to a greener future, each has a direct impact on our community and the environment. By aligning our efforts with these key pillars, we aim to support the NHS in achieving its net zero goals.
