Sustainable healthcare

As the NHS pursues ambitious Net Zero targets, suppliers across the healthcare value chain are adapting to the emissions reporting requirements of PPN 06/21 (otherwise known as a Carbon Reduction Plan).

From MedTech to biotech, care providers to healthcare recruiters, all are getting to grips with what it means to decarbonise.

The first step in complying with PPN 06/21 is to translate data that reflects your business activity (e.g. energy bills, travel, materials, distribution) into a carbon footprint measured in line with the GHG Protocol.

Equipped with that data, you can set a target to reduce emissions, build an informed plan to achieve it that prioritises high impact areas, and share your Carbon Reduction Plan with confidence.

Whilst new reporting requirements are daunting, with the right support measuring emissions doesn't have to be a drag on your time. Developing your Net Zero strategy is an opportunity to engage your current and future team, as well as prepare for private sector RFP criteria, not just a tick-box.

FAQs

Your questions answered.

What are the key emission sources for healthcare organisations?

Healthcare emissions typically come from energy use (Scope 1 and 2), transport (e.g. patient and staff travel), and a wide range of Scope 3 sources including pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, waste, and supply chain activity. Procurement-related emissions often make up the largest share.

How can we measure emissions from complex supply chains and medical products?

Seedling uses activity-based data to help you track emissions from suppliers, products, and services with greater accuracy. Whether you're procuring surgical gloves or facility management services, our platform makes it easier to capture carbon data across a wide range of categories.

Why should we measure our carbon footprint if we’re focused on patient care?

Accurate carbon reporting supports national net zero targets (like the NHS goals), enhances your ESG credentials, and is increasingly required for public procurement under frameworks like PPN 06/21. Measuring your footprint helps demonstrate leadership in sustainable healthcare—without compromising patient outcomes.
