CHP Green Plan

The ‘CHP Green Plan  2026-2029 Driving a Sustainable Future‘ outlines how we are working with customers, LIFTCos, ICSs and suppliers to contribute to the NHS net zero carbon ambitions for a #GreenerNHS (www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs). We are committed to supporting our customers with their sustainability ambitions including reaching net zero carbon.

CHP’s first Green Plan 2022-25 helped cut emissions by 27% across corporate activity and 46% across the LIFT estate. This new plan focuses on collaboration, continuing to embed sustainability as business as usual, improving estate efficiency, and using data and digital tools to drive change.  Everyone at CHP can play their part to meet our sustainability goals and we will be supporting our staff to make changes. 

What’s in the CHP Green Plan

  • Securing the Future: Preparing for lease expiries and ensuring a sustainable estate.
  • Energy Efficiency: Reducing energy demand, optimising building and plant performance, identifying opportunities and investing in renewable energy generation and low carbon technologies.
  • Biodiversity and Green Space: Enhancing outdoor spaces to support wellbeing, climate resilience and improve air quality. Creating healthier environments for communities.
  • Waste, Travel and Procurement: Driving sustainable practices across operations and through CHP contracts.
  • Climate Adaptation: Preparing for the impacts of extreme weather.

What this means for our tenants:

  • Improved working environments for staff
  • Delivering value for money through efficient, optimised estate.
  • Support for Greener NHS priorities and meeting Net zero commitments
  • Enhanced granularity and accuracy of data and reporting. Allowing for targeted, proactive energy management.
