We encouraged local businesses to attend in person, but the content is available here to our whole supplier base, via recorded sessions and uploaded resources.
The focus of the event, and this web page, is to increase the quality and quantity of carbon data directly reported from supply chain organisations.
In addition, we want to shape the role of suppliers in supporting Newcastle Hospitals to achieve our goals for net zero carbon, clean air and zero waste, as well as wider net zero programmes across the NHS and public sector.
At the event, we also discussed climate adaptation and resilience in the supply chain, with the aim of promoting and facilitating knowledge share, networking and innovation within the supplier community.
The live event included a mixture of presentations, case studies, breakout sessions, Q&As and optional 1:1 sessions with the procurement team or carbon experts, plus round tables to provide the opportunity for more in depth discussion where needed. We have recorded and shared as much as possible here.
