Recognised as a top UK innovator in supporting a greener NHS, our inclusion in the Net Zero 50 list underscores our dedication to delivering solutions that not only advance healthcare but also protect our planet.; ; Our approach is multi-faceted, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all aspects of healthcare delivery. By harnessing the power of digital health technologies, we are revolutionising patient care, making it more efficient, and significantly lowering the carbon footprint associated with traditional healthcare practices. Our solutions enable remote monitoring and virtual consultations, reducing the need for physical travel and thus decreasing CO2 emissions. This not only contributes to a reduction in pollution but also enhances patient accessibility to quality healthcare services.; ; Our initiatives extend beyond digital innovation. We are actively working towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions within our operations. This involves optimising energy use in our facilities, investing in renewable energy sources, and advocating for sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. This commitment is detailed in our Carbon Reduction Plan, published on our website, which adheres to the GHG Protocol.; ; By integrating environmental considerations into our work, we are not just addressing the symptoms of climate change but are also contributing to a healthier, more sustainable world.; ; Lenus Health remains committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, in line with Scottish Government policy, contributing to UK Government policy of Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Lenus Health wants its workers to do their best work, feel proud about their work and know that they have the support to enable them to feel professionally fulfilled. As such, fulfilment is a component of job design which contributes to health and wellbeing, a dimension when interviewing candidates and a point-of-discussion between workers and line managers during monthly one-to-one check-in meetings and annual progress reviews.; ; Exit interviews for employees who leave also provide an opportunity for us to identify what we’re doing well and where further improvements can be made to ensure that support for health and wellbeing is sustained. Exit interviews regularly highlight the positive support that employees know is in place, or from which they have benefited.
