Harley Mind Care

Carbon Reduction
Plan

Harley Mind Care is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. As a healthcare provider operating primarily through virtual consultations, we actively implement measures to reduce our carbon footprint across all areas of our operations.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions represent our recorded greenhouse gas emissions prior to implementing carbon reduction strategies.

Baseline Year: 2024

We have calculated our initial emissions footprint as follows:

Adult Psychiatry (diagnosis/medication)

Time

Scope 1 (Direct emissions from owned sources, e.g., heating)

2.5

Scope 2 (Indirect emissions from purchased electricity)

1.0

Scope 3 (Other indirect emissions, e.g., suppliers, travel, deliveries)

15.0

Total Emissions

18.5

Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: 2025

Our emissions for the most recent reporting period:

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Harley Mind Care has implemented and will continue to implement the following environmental management measures:

  1. Digital-First Approach

    • 99% of appointments are virtual, significantly reducing travel-related emissions.
    • All non-controlled drug prescriptions are issued electronically.
    • Introduction of AI-driven digital documentation to reduce paper usage.
  2. Energy Efficiency at Head Office

    • Head office operates from a residential site with solar panels already installed.
    • The building uses LPG heating, with plans to introduce more efficient heating solutions.
    • Commitment to installing PIR lighting systems to improve energy efficiency.
  3. Sustainable Travel Policy

    • Staff traveling to Harley Street use electric vehicles or public transport to minimize emissions.
    • We actively prioritize virtual meetings and consultations.
  4. Supplier and Procurement Sustainability

    • IT equipment: Only reconditioned laptops from Tier1 are purchased.
    • Cloud Services: Microsoft Azure and AWS, known for strong sustainability policies, are used.
    • Office Supplies: Minimal procurement from Amazon, pending verification of its carbon reduction policies.
  5. Sustainable Prescription Distribution

    • Royal Mail used for controlled drug prescriptions, with an initiative to switch to NHS electronic prescriptions where possible.
    • By securing an NHS contract, we aim to further reduce postal prescription volumes.
  6. Carbon Offsetting Initiatives

    • We will explore carbon offset programs for remaining emissions, investing in UK-based projects to neutralize our carbon footprint.

Future Carbon Reduction Plans

Harley Mind Care is committed to continuously improving our sustainability efforts and will explore:

  • Switching all suppliers to sustainable alternatives where feasible.
  • Expanding electronic prescription adoption to further reduce Scope 3 emissions.
  • Achieving ISO 14001 certification for Environmental Management.
  • Investing in further AI-driven solutions to reduce admin workload and paper use.
