During 2021/22 CHP committed to establishing sustainability initiatives and developed our CHP Green Plan ‘a Greener CHP, a Greener NHS’ to provide clear direction on how we can contribute to the Greener NHS net zero carbon ambitions. The CHP Green Plan ‘A Greener CHP, a Greener NHS’ outlines how we are working with customers, LIFTCos, ICSs and suppliers to contribute to the NHS net zero carbon ambitions (www.england.nhs.uk/greenernhs). We are committed to supporting our customers with their sustainability ambitions including reaching net zero carbon.
We worked hard on baseline data, including developing a Digital Estate Strategic Plan, and worked with LIFTCo colleagues to gather information. In March 2022 we launched our Green Plan working on delivery plans, targets and actions.
We are embedding our Green Plan into our business, committing resources and the action we will take to ensure it is a success. Everyone at CHP can play their part to meet our sustainability goals and we will be supporting our staff to make changes.
We will decarbonise CHP corporate activities and reduce the environmental impact of running the organisation, for example by waste reduction, increasing recycling and procuring renewable electricity.
