At Forward Community Care Ltd, we recognise our responsibility to operate in an environmentally sustainable way and are fully committed to supporting the UK Government’s target of achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. We are dedicated to continuously reducing our carbon footprint and embedding sustainable practices across all areas of our organisation.

To support this commitment, we have established the following measurable environmental targets:

• Reduce overall energy consumption by 15% by 2028, through improved energy efficiency and monitoring across all sites

• Achieve a 25% reduction in carbon emissions from transport by 2030, by minimising unnecessary travel and promoting remote working where appropriate

• Increase recycling rates to at least 80% by 2027, while significantly reducing general waste

• Move towards 100% paper-light operations by 2026, by adopting secure digital systems and reducing reliance on printed materials

• Ensure that 75% of our suppliers meet sustainable or ethical standards by 2028, supporting responsible procurement

• Provide annual sustainability training to 100% of staff, ensuring environmental awareness is embedded across the organisation

We are actively working to improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and promote responsible resource use in our day-to-day operations. Our staff are encouraged to adopt greener ways of working, including reducing travel, using digital solutions, and being mindful of environmental impact in their roles.

We will monitor our progress against these targets annually, review our environmental performance, and update our strategy as needed to ensure continuous improvement. Through these actions, we aim not only to meet compliance requirements but to make a meaningful contribution to a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for the communities we serve.
