Reducing our environmental impact<\/h2>\n
\n

At Vanguard Healthcare Solutions, we recognise our responsibility to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and the healthcare facilities we provide.<\/p>\n

Our approach focuses on reducing carbon emissions, making responsible use of materials and resources, improving the environmental performance of our operations and supply chain, and designing adaptable healthcare facilities that can support a more circular approach to healthcare infrastructure.<\/p>\n

We are committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2045, with a stretch ambition of 2040. We measure our carbon footprint annually and publish a Carbon Reduction Plan, setting out our latest emissions, targets, progress and planned actions.<\/p>\n

Designed for a longer life<\/h2>\n
\n
A key part of our approach is making better use of healthcare infrastructure throughout its lifecycle.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Vanguard facilities are designed for longevity. Our mobile facilities can be relocated, refurbished, upgraded and redeployed between healthcare providers, while modular buildings can be designed to allow future adaptation, reconfiguration or repurposing as healthcare requirements change.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This ability to extend the useful life of facilities and their components supports the principles of a circular economy, helping to reduce the requirement for new materials and make better use of existing assets.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
We continue to invest in our facilities throughout their working lives, maintaining and upgrading them to meet changing clinical, technical and regulatory requirements.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Designing and building responsibly<\/h2>\n
\n
Environmental considerations form part of how we design, manufacture and deliver our healthcare facilities.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
P\u00e5 high pre-manufactured-value projects<\/a>, more than 80% of a building can be manufactured off site. Factory-based manufacture can reduce activity within live hospital environments, while a controlled manufacturing environment helps us manage material use, minimise waste and reduce rework.<\/div>\n

The environmental features of each facility depend on the project and its requirements. Options can include:<\/div>\n
