***BREAKING NEWS*** AXREM Publishes Sustainability Manifesto with Safari at Kent Wildlife Trust
We acknowledge the pressing imperative to tackle climate change, particularly its profound impact on public health, including heightened rates of cardiovascular disease, asthma, and cancer among the population, which directly concerns the NHS. AXREM members, are steadfast in their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and actively support the NHS Net Zero roadmap.
Recognising that the NHS England can influence supplier emissions through greener procurement practices, AXREM understands the pivotal role industry must play in achieving these goals. Therefore, collaboration between the NHS and its suppliers is indispensable for success.
The core value within our manifesto include: Shaping the future for generation to come, Equity & inclusion, Community engagement, Ethical practices and empowerment.
To mark the publication of the manifesto AXREM has been working with Wilder Carbon and members will be meeting later today at the Wilder Blean Initiative managed by Kent Wildlife Trust. In the UK, lack of woodland management is one of the eight biggest drivers of species decline.
Similar projects across Europe have proved that bison, known as ‘ecosystem engineers’, can restore the natural biodiversity of a landscape. Natural bison behaviours – grazing, dust bathing, eating bark and felling trees – enable other species to thrive. The presence of bison at the Blean, alongside Exmoor ponies and Iron-Age pigs, will transform the woods into a lush, thriving, biodiverse environment once more.
Helen Gillespie-Brown, Wilder Carbon Business Development Manager said “We are delighted to be hosting AXREM at the Wilder Blean initiative to help support the launch of their new Sustainability manifesto as well as sharing more about how Wilder Carbon are attempting to address climate change and biodiversity loss through nature restoration. Nature is, after all, the infrastructure on which we all ultimately rely. We need to protect and restore carbon rich native habitats across the UK for climate, for wildlife, and for society.”
Chris Taylor, AXREM Sustainability & Social Value Special Focus Group Convenor and Sustainability Lead UKI at Philips said “At AXREM we recognise that collaboration is key function in achieving a more sustainable healthcare Industry. So, we are proud to align the launch of our sustainability manifesto, with impactful environmental initiatives like the Wilder Blean project, run by Kent Wildlife Trust, which work to transform woodlands into a lush, thriving, biodiverse environment once more".
