Development of Carbon Reduction Plans

From April 2024, for all new contracts, the NHS requires suppliers to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan for their UK Scope 1, and 2 emissions and a subset of their Scope 3 emissions in accordance with their NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap. From April 2027, this requirement will be extended, so that all suppliers will be required to publicly report emissions, targets, and publish a Carbon Reduction Plan for global emissions of Scope 1, 2 and 3.

Net zero is a core part of NHS England’s procurement exercise, and something that can’t be ignored by suppliers.

What does the Development of a Carbon Reduction Plan involve?  

We can support you to develop a carbon reduction plan that aligns with NHS net zero commitments and complies with the NHS Net Zero Supplier requirements and the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment.

All carbon reduction plans are required to include a recent carbon footprint analysis. We can estimate this for you if you don’t already have one.

, CSH can support you to:

· Assessment: All carbon reduction plans are required to include a recent carbon footprint analysis. Our team of experts will assess the current carbon emissions of your organization, which will include looking at Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
