Our vision to net zero

Healthy people need a healthy planet. We’re playing our part.

The climate crisis is a health crisis. In line with the NHS’s ambitious net zero target, EDMS Medical is taking decisive steps to make our operations and services part of a sustainable future.

A healthy planet means healthy communities. So net zero isn’t just a responsibility. It reflects our core values. Here’s how we’re making an impact:

How we’re making an impact

  • Solar panels in a misty field at sunrise
    Net zero

    Reducing Carbon Emissions in Healthcare Delivery

    • Optimising energy use: moving our facilities to renewable energy and using energy-efficient technology to cut consumption.
    • Greener transport: low-emission vehicles for medical deliveries and patient transport, on the way to a fully electric fleet.
    • Virtual consultations: telemedicine means less patient travel and fewer emissions from in-person appointments.
  • Labelled paper and plastic recycling bins
    Net zero

    Sustainable Procurement and Waste Management

    • Eco-friendly suppliers: partners who prioritise sustainability, and equipment, medicines and materials with lower carbon footprints.
    • Less medical waste: better recycling and waste segregation, with single-use plastics phased out wherever possible.

    Promoting a Green Workplace Culture

    • Staff engagement: our team is empowered to save energy, cut paper waste and commute greener.
    • Training and awareness: every member of staff learns why sustainability matters and how their role helps reach net zero.

    Innovating for the Future

    • Collaboration: working closely with local NHS trusts, councils and community organisations on innovative, sustainable healthcare.
    • Carbon offsetting: reducing emissions at source comes first. We’re also exploring offsetting, such as reforestation, to balance what we can’t avoid.

Net zero is a journey of continuous improvement. With our patients, partners and communities, we’re building a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
