Delivering a Greener NHS

Goal: Help NHSPS colleagues and customers use data to reduce utilities costs, carbon emissions, and environmental impact.  

KPI: We'll set stretching targets, including doubling the amount of data our customers can access. 

How we get there: We’ll work with customers to improve our carbon reporting and help NHSPS colleagues and customers use that data to reduce their utility costs, carbon emissions, and environmental impact. This includes improvements in calculating our carbon footprint, using technology for data sharing with customers, and providing analysis and reports to help stakeholders to influence and reduce environmental impact. We’ll also deliver value for customers through responsible procurement and utilities management. 

Goal: Continuously improve environmental impact and meet compliance obligations.  

KPI: We’ll complete audits at 132 of our higher risk sites.  

How we get there: We’ll work to improve our environmental impact and meet compliance by embedding processes, improving climate resilience at high-risk sites, and boosting biodiversity. We’ll also develop sustainable travel and buying strategies whilst also monitoring our Scope 3 (third party) emissions for better reporting.  
 

Goal: Reach the NHS England waste segregation target of 20% incineration, 20% infectious waste and 60% offensive. 

KPI: We’ll achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions produced from waste management by 2026. 

How we get there: We’ll continue to align our services to the NHS clinical waste strategy, and work with colleagues and customers to implement the correct waste streams by introducing the appropriate waste bags, bins, labels, and posters. This will help our customers effectively segregate their waste and help them achieve their waste targets. By increasing waste segregation, we can reduce costs and lower carbon emissions.
