Financial Year: 2025/2026
Date: 1st April 2025
This statement is made in line with NHS procurement requirements for sustainability and the UK Government’s net zero strategy.
1. Commitment
B & M Capital Limited publicly commits to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 with the ambition to achieve this target sooner where possible.
2. Target date
We confirm our Net Zero target year is 2040.
3. Current actions to reduce emissions
We are taking practical steps to reduce our environmental footprint. These include:
- Transitioning to energy-efficient infrastructure such as LED lighting, modern HVAC systems, and water-efficient equipment.
- Encouraging sustainable travel for staff and patients through active travel options, EV charging points, ride-sharing initiatives.
- Reducing reliance on single-use plastics while promoting recyclable or biodegradable alternatives where clinically appropriate.
- Using digital dentistry to cut down gypsum waste:
- Intraoral scanners and digital workflows reduce the need for traditional impressions which lowers gypsum model production.
- When physical models are essential we work with laboratories that recycle gypsum responsibly in line with environmental regulations.
- Secure digital storage systems reduce the requirement for physical model retention as well as repeat impressions.
- Implementing digital systems across the practice to reduce reliance on paper, printing, and postage.
- Working with suppliers that can evidence sustainable practices and carbon reduction.
4. Monitoring and reporting
We will monitor our carbon impact and review progress annually. Progress will be benchmarked against NHS sustainability guidance with updates published as part of our ongoing commitment.
5. Publication
We confirm that our organisation has made a commitment to achieve net zero and this commitment is published on our website and updated periodically to reflect progress.
6. Approval
This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors of B & M Capital Limited.
