The NHS committed itself to become the ‘world’s first net zero national health service’
Find out more in part two of The Sustainability Series
The NHS committed itself to become the ‘world’s first net zero national health service’ setting out ambitious targets to achieve this objective in Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service (October 2020).
For emissions that the NHS controls directly, it will reach net zero by 2040, and for emissions the NHS can influence by 2045.
Realising this in as complex a system as the NHS is particularly challenging and necessitates immediate and ongoing action that will affect all aspects of service delivery.
Key areas critical to carbon reduction have been red flagged, including:
Carbon-literacy will be essential to commercial success for Pharma and MedTech, with a demonstrable commitment to sustainability and change acting as a gatekeeper to the supply of medicines and medical equipment.
In this important event, our experts will clearly explain what needs to be done now and how industry can positively engage with the net-zero challenge.
The NHS acknowledges that it cannot succeed in its ambitions without the support of all of its suppliers and partners. This event will show you how to identify mutually beneficial opportunities and to become a part of the solution.
