Embedding Action Across the Organisation
Integrating Sustainability into Daily Practice
Even before we were required to comply with Net Zero provisions, sustainability has been embedded into D-Triumph Care’s culture and daily practice.
We have:
- Integrated sustainability objectives into our Quality Improvement Plan;
- Included environmental performance within staff supervision and induction; and
- Engaged all departments (care delivery, HR, and procurement) in our Carbon
Reduction Steering Group, chaired by the Head of Operations.
This ensures that every decision from procurement to scheduling is made with environmental impact in mind.
All commitments and measurable actions are contained within our Social Value and
Environmental Sustainability Policy, which is reviewed annually by the Board and aligned with Hounslow’s sustainability framework.
The policy has been attached.
We confirm that we have a current, Board-approved strategy in place and are on track to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
