IV Group were the Headline Sponsors at NHS Decarbonisation Event: Decarbonizing the NHS
London, UK – Feb 2025
The IV Group proudly headlined the recent Decarbonisation of the NHS event, showcasing the ground-breaking work of its two leading entities – Carbon Catapult and IV ISO in supporting the NHS and its vast supply chain on the journey to Net Zero. The event brought together key leaders from healthcare, sustainability, supply chain and policy, and was widely regarded as a major success in advancing the national conversation on climate-conscious healthcare transformation & decarbonization.
As headline sponsors, Carbon Catapult and IV ISO took centre stage to present their strategic frameworks and real-world capabilities for guiding NHS Trusts and suppliers through complex carbon reduction goals. Our involvement underscored a broader commitment: to embed sustainable practices into the heart of UK healthcare operations and procurement.
Driving NHS Decarbonisation Forward
With the NHS committed to becoming the world’s first Net Zero national health service, ambitious targets are already in motion:
- Achieving Net Zero for the NHS Carbon Footprint by 2040.
- Achieving Net Zero for the NHS Carbon Footprint Plus (including the supply chain) by 2045.
To deliver on this vision, the NHS needs trusted partners with proven capability, scale, and sectoral understanding.
Carbon Catapult: Global Impact, Local Results
Carbon Catapult, a flagship carbon consultancy within our IV Group, delivers unmatched support across a wider portfolio of carbon, energy, and environmental standards implementation.
With a global reach and a mission rooted in supporting real, measurable sustainability outcomes, our ethos is simple yet powerful: “We support, engage and drive positive change for our Planet in partnership with our clients.” Our hands-on approach is already delivering results across NHS Trusts and supply chain partners, enabling organisations to measure, manage and reduce emissions effectively and we are working directly within the supply chain now with standards such as ISO 14064, ISO 14068, ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and more.
IV ISO: Setting the Standard in NHS Supplier Assurance
Working in parallel, IV ISO brings deep technical and operational expertise in core management systems—supporting suppliers to align with NHS Net Zero and sustainability requirements including supplier normal pre-requisites across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 & ISO 27001 etc.
As NHS suppliers face increasing scrutiny and requirements for environmental and sustainability credentials, IV ISO’s tailored implementation and certification support is proving vital to NHS-aligned procurement and compliance. Our approach builds resilience, drives continual improvement, and ensures suppliers are credible and ready to contribute to NHS carbon goals.
A Powerful Partnership for a Sustainable Future
The NHS cannot achieve Net Zero alone. It requires strategic partnerships that combine insight, practical tools, and scalable implementation. The IV Group, through Carbon Catapult and IV ISO, is uniquely positioned to support both NHS organisations and suppliers in meeting these goals – providing the leadership, structure, and actionable plans to decarbonise effectively.
As one attendee at the event put it, “The IV Group didn’t just sponsor this event – they set the tone for what NHS supply chain sustainability should look like.”
