The objectives of the Trust are aligned to the NHS Sustainable Development Unit objectives: Supporting sustainability through the provision of effective and efficient health and social care in partnership with local communities This vision is derived from and supported by the Trust’s Clinical Strategy and Estates Strategy, notably in respect of working in partnership with others, providing care closer to home, increasing the efficiency of services through transformational change and rationalising the Trust’s estate. Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) is actively involved in the wider Strategic Transformation Partnership (STP) programme progressing partnership working initiatives. In March 2019, our Board of Directors approved the Trusts updated Sustainability Development Management Plan (SDMP). This supports the NHS carbon reduction strategy for England published by the NHS Sustainable Development Unit. The benefits of energy, environmental and sustainable development include: Reduced energy consumption resulting in reduced heating and lighting costs. Ability to bench-mark, monitor and then reduce carbon emissions through improved management, innovation and new technologies. Develop lower cost and healthier travel options for staff and service users. Manage waste by reducing, reusing, recycling and therefore reducing cost. Enhance the organisation’s reputation as a good corporate citizen. Ensure the wider impacts of environmental damage is minimised for the future. The key elements of our Sustainability Development Management Plan Buildings and estate Commissioning and procurement Carbon hotspots Waste management The strategy and management plan supports the Trust status as a good corporate citizen correspondingly enhancing reputation and assurance of compliance with the requirements of the Climate Change Act (2008). The NHS Sustainable Development Unit, the Carbon Trust and the Energy Saving Trust have identified proven technology that will save energy and deliver a return on investment. The Trust is investigating the various technologies available to save energy and will consider investing in projects that have less than a 5 year payback period. This will not only help us meet our environmental responsibilities but will also save money that can then be reinvested in improving healthcare. On a national scale, there are further opportunities to support the environment by planning sustainable transport options for staff and service users. NHS organisations are encouraged to have an active travel strategy that puts walking and cycling at the heart of local transport. The Trust already incentivises staff to cycle by paying 20p per mile for official journeys and commuting to work and provides access to the national ‘Cycle to Work Scheme’.
