NHS-ready: Carbon reporting essentials for NHS suppliers
Startups and scaleups are seizing the opportunity to sell into the National Health Service (NHS) - the UK’s publicly funded healthcare system - but many founders and operations leaders are blindsided by the growing carbon reporting requirements baked into procurement.
Navigating frameworks like PPN 006 and the Evergreen Assessment can feel overwhelming, especially without a sustainability lead on your team.
Join us for a no-fluff, practical session designed to demystify NHS carbon reporting.
In just 60 minutes, you’ll get clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward - with startup-friendly resources and expert guidance.
By the end of this session, you’ll...
🌍 Understand the NHS’s carbon requirements for suppliers — and what “good enough” looks like for early-stage companies
📊 Learn the difference between the Evergreen Assessment and PPN 006 (and when each applies)
📝 See how to create a credible Carbon Reduction Plan without a sustainability team
🔮 Know what’s changing between 2025–2030
🛠️ Walk away with a free starter tool (Seedling Starter) to kick off your own reporting
💬 Ask your questions live and get tailored advice for founders and operations leaders
You should join us if you’re...
✅ Selling (or planning to sell) into the NHS in the next 6-18 months
✅ Leading Procurement, Operations, or Compliance at an early-stage or scaling HealthTech company or NHS supplier
✅ Looking for a clear, efficient path to NHS carbon compliance
However, you’re unlikely to benefit if...
🚫 You’re not planning to sell into the NHS in the UK
🚫 You're already on top of NHS carbon compliance
