We recognise that the climate emergency is a health emergency. Our Net Zero Strategy, 'Critical Care for Our Climate', outlines our plan to reduce our environmental impact over the next decade and beyond.
We are dedicated to providing high-quality patient care while minimising our ecological footprint. Sustainability is embedded in everything we do, with our staff playing a key role in reducing carbon footprints both at work and at home.
Leaders in Sustainable Healthcare
As one of the five founding members of the NHS Circular Economy Alliance, UCLH is committed to reducing single-use medical equipment and promoting the reuse of materials wherever clinically possible. We also prioritize sustainability when selecting products and suppliers, working with them to create more eco-friendly solutions.
Supporting Sustainability at Work
UCLH encourages teams to appoint a sustainability lead to drive climate-positive initiatives at the local level. If you're passionate about climate change action, our workforce is here to support you in making an impact.
Sustainable benefits
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to live and work sustainably. We offer a cycle to work scheme, discounts on TFL Santander Cycles and annual season ticket loans to support you with making more sustainable travel choices.
We have a sustainability champions network which runs regular education sessions for staff, as well as showcasing where we have successes within the organisation, which you could then replicate in your own team.
Recognising excellence in sustainability
We want to recognise staff who go the extra mile in helping us to reach our net zero carbon emissions target. We are proud to offer an Outstanding Sustainability/Green Award at our annual Celebrating Excellence awards each year.
