HASCS Climate and Environment Strategy

At Health and Social Care Services, we recognise the urgent need to address climate change and are committed to playing our part in creating a sustainable future. We pledge to reduce our impact and become a carbon neutral business by 2030.

To do this we must look at all areas of HASCS, including:

Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy

  1. Upgrade infrastructure to improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption.

Sustainable Procurement

  1. Work with suppliers who share our sustainability values.
  2. Prioritise low-carbon and circular economy products and services.

Green Transport

  1. Transition our vehicle fleet to electric or hybrid by 2028.
  2. Promote active and public transport for staff and service users.

Waste Reduction & Recycling

  1. Achieve zero waste to landfill by 2029.
  2. Implement robust recycling and reuse programs across all sites.

Transparency & Reporting

  1. Publish annual sustainability reports to track progress.
  2. Engage stakeholders and the community in our journey to net zero.

Carbon Offsetting (as a last resort)

  1. Invest in certified carbon offset projects to neutralize any remaining emissions by 2030

We are dedicated to fostering a healthier environment for our clients, staff, and the wider community. Together, we strive to deliver outstanding care while protecting the planet for future generations.
