Sustainability

At Unimed Electrode Supplies Limited, we recognise the importance of reducing our environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable future for healthcare. We are proud to share our Net Zero Commitment Statement and Carbon Emissions Statement as part of our ongoing sustainability journey.

Net Zero Commitment Statement

Unimed Electrode Supplies Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

To support this commitment, we aim to:

• Measure and monitor our Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions annually
• Reduce waste and improve recycling throughout our operations
• Improve packaging sustainability
• Reduce energy consumption and transport emissions where possible
• Work with suppliers and partners to support sustainable practices

We will review our carbon reduction progress annually and continue to identify opportunities to reduce our environmental impact.

Unimed Electrode Supplies Ltd is currently exploring a partnership with a specialist recycling provider using pyrolysis technology. Initial projections provided by the recycling partner suggest the process may reduce associated disposal emissions by approximately 70–80% compared with traditional disposal methods.

Unimed Electrode Supplies Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045. Emissions have been calculated in accordance with PPN 006, the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, SECR requirements, and UK Government conversion factors, with support from Litmus Sustainability.
