Bupa has joined the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition, a public-private healthcare collaboration formed to promote long-term healthcare and business reform.
Bupa’s objective to become a net zero firm by 2040 across its worldwide healthcare operations and value chain is supported by this relationship. Working together and learning from each other will enable Bupa to make significant progress toward its net zero goal this decade.
Bupa chief sustainability and people officer Nigel Sullivan says: “We have decided to partner with the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition to accelerate the progress needed to meet our ambition to become a net zero business by 2040.
“We know we cannot secure a sustainable future alone. This means learning from each other, piloting new ideas, and sharing insights and innovations openly. We must then ensure this knowledge is embedded in our organisations to provide and accelerate innovative and sustainable healthcare.”
Sustainable Healthcare Coalition chair Dr Fiona Adshead says: “Like all our members and partners, Bupa understands that using the power of increased collaborative action is in the interest of all in the healthcare sector to gain a better understanding of what is good for business and the healthcare system, good for the environment and health, and good for our common future.”
