We want to be ‘net zero carbon’ by 2040. This means reducing the amount of carbon we produce through our buildings and operations.

We have a vision for sustainable healthcare spaces, helping the NHS and all our healthcare customers meet their net zero carbon aspirations. This means building sustainable schemes and making existing buildings more energy efficient, along with supporting our customers and suppliers to reduce their energy usage.
