Carbon net zero sustainability action plan

Our (the GPhC) Carbon Net Zero Action Plan is structured around three core elements:

1.    Putting our own house in order

We are committed to reducing our own carbon footprint and embedding sustainability into our operations. By ‘putting our own house in order’, we aim to set a standard for others to follow in the healthcare sector.

2.    Greening our regulatory levers

We are embedding environmental sustainability into our regulatory framework, ensuring a ‘green thread’ runs through our approach. This initiative will encourage pharmacies and registrants to adopt sustainable practices, which directly enhances patient care and promotes overall health and wellbeing.

3.    Collaborative efforts for sustainable pharmacy care

We will leverage our regulatory influence and collaborative networks to foster smarter, more efficient practices across the sector. By working together, we can accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices, enhance value, and maximise the impact of our efforts.

Through these initiatives, our focus is to lead the way in fostering a more sustainable future for pharmacy care.
