Social responsibility

BioSpectrum takes its corporate responsibility seriously. We have aligned with the NHS’ goal of reaching Net Zero by 2045.

In order to continue our progress, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets:

  • For the emissions we control directly, we will reach Net Zero by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2028 to 2032;
  • For the emissions we can influence, we will reach Net Zero by 2045, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2036 to 2039.

We take responsibility for managing the impact our business has on the environment in a proactive and ethical manner. We are always looking for opportunities to run our operations in a more sustainable way and we constantly look beyond our legal obligations to reduce and mitigate our environmental footprint.

 

Our third Annual Cardon Reduction Plan is complete and can be viewed here.
