Serchem completes NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment
Posted 21/03/2024
Serchem is pleased to have completed the NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment.
The Assessment is a self-assessment and reporting tool and resulted in us receiving a Level 2: Comprehensive net zero targets and reporting for carbon emissions. The information reported through Evergreen is supporting us to understand our alignment with NHS sustainability priorities and identify those areas in which we need to accelerate progress.
The Evergreen Assessment is one of several NHS initiatives designed to support its net zero and wider sustainability objectives. We are delighted to be supporting the NHS to achieve their net zero and sustainability ambitions, including those set out in the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap.

A: The assessment can be completed by any supplier which provides or plans to provide goods or services to NHS England, integrated care boards or an NHS trust in England.
Q: How does it work?
A: It allows suppliers to share sustainability information through a single route for information and data with the NHS.
Q: What does the assessment mean?
