Sustainable Purchasing and Green Finance (Green Plan Refresh)

In 2020, the NHS became the world’s first health system to commit to reaching net zero emissions. The Delivering a Net Zero National Health Service report set out the scale of ambition. The Health and Care Act 2022 reinforced this commitment, placing new duties on integrated care boards (ICBs), NHS trusts and foundation trusts (referred to collectively in this guidance as trusts) to consider statutory emissions and environmental targets in their decisions.

Trusts and ICBs are expected to meet these duties through the delivery of board-approved green plans. These plans now need to be refreshed in line with this statutory guidance by 31 July 2025.

As part of the South East regional support, we are hosting a number of webinars. This one is on Sustainable Purchasing and Green Finance. We will be discussing money saving opportunities (sustainable purchasing). Financial focus on top actions to both save money and be sustainable. Supplier roadmap key milestones, Design for Life Roadmap, Quarterly Reporting and tracking progress, Case Studies, money saving opportunities.
