We are delighted to announce iiE Bronze Accreditation for our commitment to sustainability

We are committed to protecting the planet and reducing our levels of waste and emissions, and believe this is fundamental to the long-term success of our business and the well-being of our communities. Since launching our application Investors in the Environment accreditation, we have made significant progress integrating sustainability into our operations.

We started off by measuring our carbon footprint, and identifying the activities that represented the largest sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for Healthworks. This meant that we could implement an action plan to reduce GHG emissions and increase energy-efficiency measures at our sites.  As a result our tCO2e* dropped from 1110 in 20-21 to 83 by the end of March 2023.

Upon hearing the news of our accreditation, Rob Joyce, Senior Manager of Operations, said “Achieving the iiE Bronze Award is a recognition of the work we have done so far and we are extremely proud of this achievement. Our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment is ongoing, and we will continue to identify ways that to progress on our sustainability journey and implement measures across our sites to help us make a real impact”

iiE is an accessible and proven route to help organisations get started on their sustainability journey and make a real impact. It has been running for over 12 years, and in that time has helped hundreds of organisations from all sectors and sizes to improve their environmental performance. The scheme is owned and managed by a sustainability charity.
