At Eco Ninjas, the past few months have been incredibly busy. We are excited to share our journey with you. Our commitment to producing high-quality products aligns with our sustainability goals and supports the NHS in its pursuit of a greener future.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
As a trusted supplier to the NHS, Eco Ninjas understands the importance of reducing our environmental impact. We are proud to play a part in the NHS’s Net Zero Supplier Roadmap and are committed to supporting the NHS’s goal of achieving Net Zero by 2045.
Key Actions for Sustainability
To ensure we meet our commitment, we have undertaken several key actions:
Developed a PPN 06/21 Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) to align with NHS procurement requirements.
Measured our carbon emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
Implemented strategies to reduce emissions across our operations and supply chain.
Continuously worked towards supporting a low-carbon healthcare system.
Sustainability is a journey. We are proud of the measurable progress we have made so far.
Evergreen Assessment
We are also pleased to announce that Eco Ninjas has successfully completed the NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment. This self-assessment and reporting tool resulted in Eco Ninjas receiving a Level 2: Comprehensive rating, which includes net-zero targets and reporting for carbon emissions.
This achievement is instrumental in helping us understand how we align with the NHS’s long-term sustainability priorities. It provides a clear pathway for ongoing progress.
Impact of Our Achievements
The completion of the Evergreen Assessment allows us to refine our sustainability strategies. It also enhances our credibility within the healthcare sector. By achieving this level of compliance, we ensure that our commitment is not just a statement; it's actionable.
ISO 9001 Certification
We are thrilled to share that Eco Ninjas has officially achieved ISO 9001 Certification in Quality Management. At Eco Ninjas, we believe that success is built on continuous improvement. Over the past several months, we have focused on refining our internal processes.
Achieving ISO 9001 Certification is a significant milestone in this journey. It signifies that we have implemented internationally recognized quality management processes.
What This Means for You
For our customers, ISO 9001 Certification is a promise. It reflects that we are constantly striving for higher standards. Our operations now meet rigorous quality benchmarks. From customer support to product delivery, this certification ensures we provide quality-focused processes, which allows us to better meet your needs and exceed expectations.
We believe that our commitment to quality not only enhances our service but builds trust with our customers.
Cyber Security Compliance
In the digital age, cybersecurity is of utmost importance, especially for the NHS, which handles sensitive patient data. We are pleased to inform our customers that Eco Ninjas is now Cyber Security compliant. This compliance ensures that we can protect data and meet regulatory requirements while maintaining operational integrity.
Peace of Mind for Our Customers
Our Cyber Security compliance provides our customers with peace of mind and trust when placing orders with us. You can feel confident knowing that your information is safe with Eco Ninjas.
Social Value
We are committed to creating a positive social impact through our robust social value strategy. By aligning our initiatives with local needs, we aim to create social, economic, and environmental benefits. These benefits enhance our community and strengthen our reputation with our customers.
Engagement with Our Community
Our social value strategy is designed to engage with the community effectively. We hope to make real changes that not only benefit our customers but also improve lives locally.
First Implementation: Theatre Badge Hat Range
Our recent implementation of the theatre badge hat range at Orthopaedic Theatres at Musgrove Park Hospital in Somerset has received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Surgeons and registrars have praised the personalized badge hats. They help them remember each clinician’s name and role, which can often be forgotten after the morning brief.
Enhancing Team Communication
Knowing all the names and roles of the staff in the operating theatre improves communication and teamwork. Additionally, students and new staff members have expressed how the use of name badges has helped them feel more connected and integrated into the team.
As we move forward, we look forward to sharing further updates. This will include measured impact and a detailed case study in future blogs. Stay tuned!
