Our Green Plan
Climate change presents one of the most significant public health emergencies. As an organisation with a significant carbon footprint, we are committed to significantly reducing it.
Climate change presents one of the most significant public health emergencies. As an organisation with a significant carbon footprint, we are committed to significantly reducing it.
To support us in the delivery of this, we partnered with global engineering company, Arcadis.
With their expertise and know-how, the Arcadis team helped us develop a robust Green Plan which will initially focus on our plans for the next three to 10 years.
This will establish how we deliver on our 80 per cent emission reduction through the things we buy, our energy, our transport, our ambulances and our estates.
The first step on our journey was to quantify our current footprint, so we know where we can start making immediate changes to make a positive impact.
The plan supports the Trust’s Green Strategy which was approved by the Board in January 2022 and which ambitiously mirrors those of the NHS-wide aim to become the world’s first healthcare system to reach zero net carbon emissions.
Over the coming months, we will continue to involve colleagues and our system partners on work to implement our Green Plan.
