Climate Commitment Policy
Mitrone Healthcare is committed to playing our part in addressing the global climate crisis.
We recognise the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future. As part of this commitment, we pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Our Commitment:
We are dedicated to:
- Reducing our carbon footprint across all aspects of our operations, including energy use, transportation, waste, and supply chain.
- Transitioning to renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency in our facilities.
- Engaging our employees, suppliers, and customers in our sustainability journey to foster collective action.
Measuring and reporting our progress transparently to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.
Our Goals
To achieve net zero emissions, we will:
In 2024, we have conducted a carbon footprint assessment to identify key sources of emissions and establish a baseline for reduction.
- We are setting scientifically based targets aligned with the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
- We have already implemented energy efficiency measures, such as upgrading to LED lighting, optimising heating and cooling systems, and reducing energy consumption.
- In 2025 we plan to switch to renewable energy by installing solar panels in our business premises.
- We reduce our waste by adopting circular economy principles, minimizing single-use plastics, and increasing recycling and composting.
- We encourage sustainable commuting by promoting public transport, cycling, and electric vehicles for employees. In 2025, we will convert one third of the car fleet to electric vehicles.
- We collaborate with suppliers to ensure they share our commitment to sustainability and reduce emissions across our supply chain.
- We are working with local authorities to offset remaining emissions through verified carbon offset projects that support reforestation, renewable energy, or community-based initiatives.
Transparency and Accountability:
We will:
- From 2026, we will publish annual progress reports on our website to track and share our journey toward net zero.
- Engage with stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the local community, to gather feedback and improve our efforts.
- Review and update this policy regularly to reflect new technologies, best practices, and evolving climate science.
Our Promise
Achieving net zero is not just a goal; it is a responsibility we take seriously. We are committed to making meaningful changes that benefit the environment, our community, and future generations. Together, we can build a sustainable future.
