Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Carbon Footprinting Standard
The founding project of the coalition was to develop a greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting guidance document for the pharmaceutical and medical device sector. This research was initiated from the GHG appraisal of the NHS that identified pharmaceuticals and medical devices contributing over 25% to the total NHS carbon footprint. The purpose of this guidance is Continue reading “Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Carbon Footprinting Standard”
Greener Maternity Care – Guidance on how to produce a carbon footprint of maternity services
Maternity Care and Climate Change Maternity services are one of the NHS’s high-volume services, with over 673,000 births in the UK in 2022. Each of these will have been preceded by approximately 30 weeks of regular antenatal care and followed up with postnatal care. At the same time, significant inequalities persist in maternal services across Continue reading “Greener Maternity Care – Guidance on how to produce a carbon footprint of maternity services”

Minimising waste in clinical trials
July 2026 | Protocol-level decisions have the greatest leverage on the volume of consumables, samples, and packaging a trial goes on to generate.
Minimise patient & staff travel in clinical trials
July 2026 | Every visit a trial requires is also a journey with a carbon cost. Redesigning where and how those journeys happen is one of the most direct levers a trial has for decarbonising.
