Net Zero Week 2022

What is Net Zero Week?

Every organization, across every industry needs to radically reduce carbon emissions to combat the effects of climate change. BSI’s Net Zero Week is back to bring awareness of the work being done across key sectors to meet global carbon emission targets.

To help highlight the scale of the Net Zero challenge and provide the best expert advice and latest industry updates in support of organizations who strive to understand their role in reducing carbon emissions and working toward ambitious Net Zero targets, we have re-aired a series of free webinars throughout the 21 and 22 September 2022.

The webinars were initially broadcasted in April 2022

What’s this webinar about?

The health and care system in England is responsible for an estimated 4 – 5 per cent of the country’s carbon footprint – so has a major role to play in supporting the net zero target. The NHS has therefore committed to reaching net zero as soon as possible.

As part of BSI’s Net Zero Week, this webinar will explore several areas critical to carbon reduction in healthcare. Presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion and Q&A.
