Is sustainability achievable when running a care home?

Environmental sustainability is now a quality statement under the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) Single Assessment Framework. This makes reducing waste, cutting carbon impact and developing greener processes an even higher priority for care providers.

How to make your commercial laundry greener

Protecting the environment is now a high priority for many customers and the businesses they buy from. By 2022, more than two-thirds of companies had taken some action to reduce their carbon emissions. With the UK’s ambitious Net Zero targets in sight, finding ways to reduce emissions, minimise impact and make operations greener has become a priority, even for SMEs.
