Silverchain is committed to environmental sustainability, reducing our carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices in our operations.
We know that climate change can affect people’s health, and we want to do our part to protect everyone and the planet. Being environmentally sustainable means using our resources wisely and providing safe, high quality care at the same time.
How we’re becoming greener
We want to reduce our impact on the environment and are focusing on:
- Emission reduction
- Transport and travel
- Waste management
- Increase our uptake of renewable energy sources
- Proactively monitoring and optimising our environmental impact using data tracking platforms and dashboards.
Making a difference
We’re already taking steps to reduce our impact including:
- Installing solar panel systems at several of our service bases and investigating the feasibility at our other sites.
- Implementing an organics trial that diverted over three tonnes of food waste from landfill in just over six months.
- Recycling old uniforms to avoid them ending up in landfill.
