Trust Comes Top in Carbon Reduction Tables

Nottinghamshire Healthcare, the County’s integrated healthcare provider has been named as top mental health, learning disability and community service provider in the recently published Environment Agency report on carbon reduction schemes.
The table ranks participants in terms of their early action to manage their energy. The league table is based on the comprehensive reports submitted by the participants in the scheme.
Future league tables will be based on participant’s efforts to improve their energy efficiency. Their early action will have a diminished weighting each year, with metrics based on company growth and absolute emissions changes taking more prevalence.
By making this information openly available to the public, energy efficiency will become a reputational issue for supermarkets, universities and football clubs to name but a few. This will bring energy efficiency to the attention of any boardroom that cares about the image of their brand.
 
Simon Smith is Executive Director with responsibility for sustainability:
“Out of a total of 2014 participants, Nottinghamshire Healthcare has been ranked at number 196 which puts this Trust firmly in the top 10%. In addition there are 159 healthcare trusts in the scheme and the Trust is number 14 in the table when compared solely with them. Again in the top 10% of NHS Trusts. So overall a very creditable performance and this is only the start of our carbon reduction programme.”
