An opportunity for NHS organisations
• Have you developed a comprehensive Sustainable Development Management Plan? • Have you identified actions necessary to deliver the aims of the NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy? • Have you considered the financial impact of the Carbon Reduction Commitment? The NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy brings with it requirements for all NHS organisations to develop a tailored strategy on a range of sustainability issues. The strategy, headlined with a Sustainable Development Management Plan, will include a series of actions designed to contribute towards the NHS initial carbon reduction target.

Carbon Reduction Focus
The link between sustainability and health has been clear for some time. Embedding sustainability in the NHS means establishing actions across a range of issues, such as:

Environmental legislation	Procurement
Governance and commitment	Travel
Partnerships and networks	Waste
Finance	Building design and operation
Energy and carbon management	Water
Organisational and workforce development

Your organisation’s Sustainable Development Management Plan will need to set out a framework for delivery of carbon abatement. As well as reductions in carbon emissions this focus should realise financial savings over time, including those arising from the Carbon Reduction Commitment.

Carbon Management can involve challenging existing norms and culture. Realising the benefits of change requires the necessary focus, resource and understanding.
