NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment — Level 2
Scala Surgical is pleased to have completed the NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment. The Assessment is a self-assessment and reporting tool and resulted in us receiving a Level 2: Comprehensive net zero targets and reporting for carbon emissions. The information reported through Evergreen is supporting us to understand our alignment with NHS sustainability priorities and identify those areas in which we need to accelerate progress.
The Evergreen Assessment is one of several NHS initiatives designed to support its net zero and wider sustainability objectives. We are delighted to be supporting the NHS to achieve their net zero and sustainability ambitions, including those set out in the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap.
Scala Surgical has published a Carbon Reduction Plan committing to Net Zero by 2045, with an interim target of 35% reduction by 2030. Our baseline emissions for FY 2024/25 total approximately 6.2 tCO₂e across Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Key measures include:
- 100% REGO-backed renewable electricity at our UK warehouse
- Over 800 kW of combined solar capacity across our manufacturing supply chain
- Reusable surgical instruments designed for 10+ year lifecycles, reducing NHS single-use waste
- Supply chain engagement on environmental performance and workforce welfare
