Carbon action is an

extension of patient care.

In healthcare, sustainability means healing doesn’t stop at hospital walls – it includes the planet itself.

By reducing emissions, improving efficiency and building resilience, healthcare providers can protect both human health and environmental wellbeing.

51toCarbonZero combines advanced technology, climate expertise and sector insight to help healthcare organisations measure, manage and reduce their carbon footprint – strengthening operational performance while safeguarding long-term health outcomes.

The healthcare industry is responsible for 5% of global carbon emissions.

As a sector trusted with wellbeing, healthcare has both the responsibility and the influence to lead on climate action.

From hospitals and laboratories to primary care and pharmaceuticals, every part of the system contributes to the footprint – and has a role to play in reducing it.

While Scope 1 and 2 emissions from energy and facilities are significant, the majority of the sector’s impact sits in Scope 3: supply chains, medical goods and services, staff travel and waste. Achieving transparency across these areas is essential to meet regulatory expectations, demonstrate accountability and build resilience against future risk.

Working with 51toCarbonZero, healthcare providers go beyond compliance. Our platform simplifies data collection, standardises reporting and delivers actionable insights – helping you turn environmental responsibility into measurable progress and lasting impact.

we understand your unique challenges.

Reducing environmental impact without compromising quality of care: Patient health and safety will always come first, making sustainability measures more complex to implement. Our approach aligns decarbonisation with operational continuity, ensuring improvements never compromise care delivery.

Reliance on single-use items: Strict hygiene and infection control protocols result in high levels of disposable materials. We help identify reduction opportunities without breaching compliance or safety standards.

24/7 operations and energy demand: Around-the-clock care requires continuous use of energy-intensive equipment and facilities. Our tools enable data-driven optimisation to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions over time.

Complex supply chains: Medical products and pharmaceuticals often rely on global suppliers with limited visibility. Our integrated supplier engagement and reporting tools simplify data gathering, support compliance and drive transparency across your value chain.

Built to capture your hotspots.

FACILITY & EQUIPMENT ENERGY USAGE

Hospitals, labs and diagnostic equipment are highly energy intensive, often accounting for the largest share of emissions.

GOODS & SERVICES
Upstream suppliers providing pharmaceuticals, medical devices, contracted services and catering represent a major portion of the healthcare footprint.

COMMUTING
With many frontline healthcare workers required on-site, staff travel remains a notable contributor to emissions.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Clinical and hazardous waste requires specialised treatment unique to the healthcare sector, demanding tailored strategies for reduction and reporting.

Meet the future of climate reduction.
