HMT Joins Industry-wide Pledge to Achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2035

HMT has joined over 40 providers across the independent healthcare sector in England in signing up to an ambitious new industry-wide pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2035.

Brokered by the Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) ahead of the COP26 Climate Change Conference in November, HMT has joined over 40 independent healthcare providers, who have now signed up to the pledge, with many more expected to in the coming months.

HMT is committed to playing their role in tackling the climate change emergency. And as a sector which employs over 160,000 people and delivers care for millions of people every year, this commitment from independent healthcare providers builds on the NHS’ own target to achieve net zero by 2040.

To help support independent providers achieve this pan-industry climate change commitment, IHPN will continue to bring members together through its Climate Change group to share knowledge and best practice on how to reduce emissions across their organisations, coordinating practical ways of reaching net zero across the industry
