The healthcare sector must take responsibility for the impacts that its own emissions are having on our health, and take action to decarbonise in line with the Paris Agreement. 

The healthcare sector is responsible for 4.6% of net global emissions. We work with healthcare facilities to calculate and reduce their significant carbon footprint, as well as leverage their significant buying power (10% of GDP in Europe) to influence the supply chain.
