We have identified the following crucial environmental impacts associated with the delivery of veterinary care:
- Consumption of gas, water, electricity and other fuels
- Use of anaesthetic gases
- Waste generation
- Transport emissions
- Use of raw materials, including prescribed drugs and medicines
- Procured goods and services with their own environmental impact
Our environmental commitment can be demonstrated in our established objectives and goals below:
- Commitment to net zero carbon emissions target by 2040 in alignment with Mars and Linnaeus sustainability policies
- Compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and public/customer expectations
- Monitoring key resource usage and implementation of conservation techniques
- Implement waste and recycling policy and a sustainable procurement policy
- Minimise unsustainable transport use
- Publish and distribute an annual organisation sustainability report
The introduction and implementation of the Environmental Policy is a pledge of Kentdale Referrals management and shared responsibility with our Associates. Kirsty Powell has allocated responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of this policy.
The policy will be reviewed every year as part of the organisation’s overall environment management plan.
