Common use of Net Zero Clause in Contracts

Net Zero. 5.6.1. Faculty should consider the public sector commitment to move towards a ‘net zero’ carbon footprint by 2040, for the emissions it controls directly, and by 2045 for all other emissions that it can influence. 5.6.2. All suppliers, and individuals working on behalf of NHS England, will therefore need to be able to demonstrate a commitment to, a belief in, and an understanding of, the importance of a ‘Net Zero’ culture within the health and care context. To this end, faculty should be actively engaged in ensuring that, in all aspects of the delivery of their work, they are utilising the most carbon efficient approaches as are possible.
