Sustainability

This is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Sustainability webpage – here you can find information on our sustainability areas of focus.

By working together to achieve a more sustainable organisation, we can realise NHSGGC’s board objectives (better care, better value, better workplace and better health) whilst contributing to the health and wellbeing of our patients, staff, communities and local environment – both now and in the future.

NHSGGC Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy 2023-2028 In response to the Scottish Government launching “A Policy for NHS Scotland on the Climate Emergency and Sustainable Development (DL 38)” this strategy was developed to encompass NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s medium term sustainability objectives (2023 – 2028) as a platform to build on for the longer term 2038 and 2040 targets. These targets are embedded objectives in the Annual Delivery Plan (ADP) and Medium Term Plan (MTP) planning guidance issued by the Scottish Government.

The most recent Annual Climate Emergency and Sustainability Report is available here.
