Supporting health and care innovators to navigate Net Zero
News International

In a world increasingly defined by climate urgency, our updated Net Zero Innovator Guide is a valuable resource to support businesses on their net zero journey, aligning healthcare innovation with the global mandate for sustainability.

As nations convene at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan to accelerate action under the Paris Agreement, and with new policies such as the UN’s Global Stocktake amplifying accountability on emissions reductions, this guide equips NHS innovators with the tools to lead by example.

The Net Zero Innovator Guide is a comprehensive resource for innovators navigating the NHS’s ambitious climate goals. It covers essential insights on climate change, the NHS’s journey to net zero by 2045 and the evolving procurement landscape, including the Evergreen Supplier Assessment. Beyond environmental priorities, the guide highlights the NHS’s broader social commitments and provides a straightforward roadmap for innovators ready to make a meaningful impact.

The NHS’s ambitious target of achieving net zero by 2045 in the face of intensifying climate challenges is a pioneering approach and will need support from all businesses looking to work alongside them. By fostering collaboration across disciplines and embracing new innovations, the NHS can reaffirm its role as a leader in climate-conscious care, ensuring a healthier planet for generations to come.
