Partnerships
Our Purchasing Specialist helps us partner with those in our supply chain and, where possible, source and procure more sustainably. Our successes to date include:
Encouraging colleagues to take advantage of and support community initiatives where they live and work – for example, this lovely touch in the flowerbeds opposite our clinic at Truro Health Park:
Locking into a 3-year Zero Carbon Electricity deal for our Harleigh Road Dental Centre
Adopting a green IT policy with our website powered by Krystal internet service provider, using 100% renewable energy
Procuring:
Biodegradable stickers for all of the children we see
Lanyards made from recycled plastic
Recycled paper, not bleached, for use in our in-house printers
Locally to reduce air/other miles travelled


Green Ranges
Our ambitions for the future include:
Working with Cornish company Tevi we calculated our baseline carbon footprint calculation and have now started work on a carbon reduction plan, not only for us as a business, but working with our supply chain and local community
More sustainable eco-switches in the clinical environment, considering the effectiveness of clinical suppliers ‘green ranges’
