What are we doing?
Anthony Nolan has created a policy and its first environmental sustainability strategy. These provide a framework and measurable goals against which we can begin the work of reducing our environmental impact and engaging with stakeholders on the importance of action against climate change, water shortages, and biodiversity loss.
Our targets
- Net Zero in scopes 1 and 2 by 2040 and scope 3 by 2050.
- Reduce our carbon footprint by 35% by 2030.
- Support the development of a world stem cell and bone marrow transplant community working group.
What are our areas of focus?
- Improving our data to gain a greater understanding of our impact.
- Greening our laboratories.
- Increasing sustainable travel and reducing flying.
- Implementing our strategy and engaging staff.
Why are we reducing our impact?
As a charity dedicated to saving lives through stem cells, Anthony Nolan is committed to taking action to reduce its environmental impact and safeguard its ability to deliver lifesaving care and improve the lives of current and future patients. Climate change and water shortages will significantly impact patients and the services we support.
Why is it complex?
Anthony Nolan provides crucial care which can be resource-intensive. We acknowledge the important interplay of actions to improve social sustainability through improving access to care and importing stem cells for patients, and the impact this has on our environmental sustainability and our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. Anthony Nolan is committed to reducing carbon emissions but not at the expense of patient outcomes and quality of life improvements. In positive news, there is plenty we can do to reduce our environmental impact without compromising these elements.
