Across our healthcare asset portfolio we have been working with sustainability consultancy Positive Planet to provide an independent measurement of the carbon footprint of our e estate.
Positive Planet measured the carbon emissions which Community 1st and our supply chain directly control and influence – the direct emissions relating to the built estate.
All the electricity supplied to our healthcare estate is from 100% renewable sources, so the only carbon emissions measured are those generated from electricity from the grid to the site.
This measurement provides us with a benchmark against which future improvements to our carbon efficiency can be measured.
This provides a clear picture of the energy performance of the building over time and includes recommendations for additional actions to reduce carbon even further.
Minimising our carbon footprint and the impact our asset portfolio has on the environment is key to our socially responsible investment ethos.
