NHS EVERGREEN SUSTAINABLE SUPPLIER ASSESSMENT COMPLETED
Canon Medical UK is pleased to have completed the NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment. The Assessment is a self-assessment and reporting tool and resulted in us receiving a Level 1: Publicly committed to net zero carbon and engaged with sustainability.
The information reported through Evergreen is supporting us to understand our alignment with NHS sustainability priorities and identify those areas in which we need to accelerate progress.
The Evergreen Assessment is one of several NHS initiatives designed to support its net zero and wider sustainability objectives. We are delighted to be supporting the NHS to achieve their net zero and sustainability ambitions, including those set out in the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap.
What is the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment?
The NHS Evergreen Supplier Framework assesses suppliers’ alignment with NHS sustainability goals, such as its commitment to net zero, and with broader social
goals by aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
By benchmarking against NHS sustainability goals, suppliers prioritise key themes, such as reducing carbon emissions and supporting community health.
Reducing emissions not only aids the NHS in reaching its sustainability targets, but also mitigates health risks caused by climate change and environmental degradation. This framework helps NHS suppliers meet social value expectations, including creating employment opportunities and supporting health equity through local engagement.
