Safeguard Medical’s Commitment to Sustainability

Safeguard Medical is committed to creating a sustainable future by reducing carbon emissions across our UK and US operations. This Global Carbon Reduction Plan outlines our comprehensive strategies to mitigate environmental impact, drive innovation, and align with leading frameworks such as the NHS Net Zero Goals. By focusing on data-driven solutions, we aim to enhance our value to stakeholders and strengthen our competitive advantage in tender applications. Objectives

We have set ambitious but achievable carbon reduction targets to guide our efforts:

• Achieve a 20% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
• Transition to 100% renewable energy in company-owned facilities by 2050.
• Reduce waste sent to landfills by 50% within five years.

Baseline Assessment
Our baseline assessment provides a critical foundation for targeted action:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from vehicles and on-site energy use.
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity.
• Scope 3: Supply chain emissions, including logistics and supplier activities.

Through rigorous data collection and analysis, we have identified key areas for impactful change. Please read our full plan below.
