We understand our impact on the environment and have made a number of conscious steps to minimise the damaging effects our organisation has on the planet
Healthcare communications provider Cymphony is leading the way in its sustainability charge, having successfully reached net-zero carbon status.
Cymphony’s mission is to help healthcare providers improve day-to-day operations such as bookings and communications has placed sustainability alongside technology at the centre of operations and has now achieved its net-zero goals.
Neil Davies, Managing Director at Cymphony, comments: “Here at Cymphony, our purpose runs deeper than delivering the best communication solutions for our healthcare providers.
“We understand the impact we have on the environment and have made a number of conscious steps to minimise the damaging effects our organisation has on the planet. As of today, I’m unaware of any other industry player who has not only committed but also achieved this level of sustainability across its operations.
“Having partnered with Carbon Footprint Limited, everyone at Cymphony understood our goal of minimising our carbon footprint. Essential processes such as independent assessments, surpassing targets for continual improvements, and operating via a remote model kept us on track to net zero.
“Our focus isn’t just inwards; we have also focused overseas efforts on offsetting our carbon emissions and supporting targeted schemes. Partnering with clean water and cooking initiatives in Uganda and China are actively curbing local communities’ reliance on greenhouse gas-emitting measures.
“Certain emissions we cannot help but have to emit. This is why we take part in these annual reviews to determine key areas where we can proactively offset emissions in other areas. Offsetting enough to counter the unavoidable contributed a valuable role to our net-zero commitment.”
UK Healthcare is conscious of its responsibility to reduce its carbon emissions. The NHS has set its net-zero target by 2040 for the emissions it can directly control.
Neil continues: “It’s great to see UK healthcare (particularly the NHS) take action and set much-needed targets to ensure carbon emissions and the knock-on effects they cause are omitted entirely.
“Cymphony is proud to lead the industry in achieving net-zero status ahead of the curve. It brings better health and environmental benefits and sets the standard for the rest of the industry to show that net-zero is a possibility worth achieving.
“Our clients can take solace in the fact that partnering to achieve a more streamlined healthcare service has a minimal effect on our environment, for not just the present, but for future generations too.”
Neil concludes: “Here at Cymphony, we want to continue setting the standard for the best communication solutions for our healthcare sector. It is also imperative that our net-zero processes do not fall off.
“Ensuring that the steps and processes we have taken thus far to achieve net zero are upheld is crucial to reducing our effect on our environment. Furthermore, we want to continue leading the way for UK healthcare and demonstrate that net-zero status is justifiable and achievable.”
