NHS England now requires all of its suppliers to publish an NHS Carbon Reduction Plan that quantifies their greenhouse gas emissions and that sets out when, and how, they will reach net-zero. This is designed to help the NHS reduce its own environmental impact and ensure it meets its net-zero goals.
Your plan must include:
A commitment to achieving net zero for your UK operations by 2050 at the latest, Your baseline carbon footprint and your current emissions for scopes 1, 2, and 3, adhering to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) protocol (scope 3 categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 at minimum), Your emissions in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) for all seven greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, Your current carbon reduction initiatives and projects, and those that you will implement in the future to achieve net zero.
