Medical Simulation Solutions Limited is committed to reducing our environmental impact and to supporting the NHS in reaching Net Zero by 2050. We aim to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and implement continuous improvement in our operations and products.

While this represents Medical Simulation Solutions Ltd’s first formal Carbon Reduction Plan, the organisation has previously demonstrated an understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and has proactively considered emissions reduction within its operations.

The data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 have been calculated from data obtained from the Government webpage https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax as well as the SSE Energy Solutions carbon footprint calculator.

Emissions	TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1	– This reflects the director’s company vehicle, which is fully electric and therefore does not generate direct emissions from fuel combustion. There are no additional Scope 1 emissions, as the premises do not use gas.
Scope 2	1,2 – This reflects electricity usage at the company headquarters and that used by employees when working from home.
Scope 3 (Included Sources)	2.0 – Emissions within this scope include employee commuting by car, business travel using personal vehicles, and rail travel. This scope does not cover emissions associated with upstream or downstream transportation and distribution, or waste generation. This is due to the nature of the organisation as a medical simulation company, where operations do not involve carbon-intensive product manufacturing or distribution activities.
Total	3.28

3. Carbon Reduction Targets

Target	Timeline	Action Description
Reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 15%	3 years	Energy-efficient offices, LED lighting, renewable energy contracts
Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 10%	5 years	Sustainable sourcing, low-carbon logistics, packaging optimisation
Product carbon footprint reduction	5 years	Repairable simulators; longer product lifespans
Net Zero alignment	2050	Continuous improvement in operations, supply chain, and product lifecycle

4. Action Plan

Operations & Facilities

• LED lighting and low-energy electronics.
• Encourage remote meetings to reduce travel-related emissions.
• Encourage online customer care where possible to reduce travel-related emissions.

Product Design & Lifecycle

• Repairable manikins and task trainers to extend life and reduce waste.
• Recycle end-of-life manikins and Task Trainers

Packaging & Logistics

• Minimise packaging and eliminate unnecessary plastics.
• Optimise palletisation and consolidate deliveries to reduce transport emissions.
• Explore returnable packaging or take-back schemes for large simulators.

Supply Chain Engagement

• Work with suppliers to improve sustainability practices and carbon reporting.
• Work with Suppliers to reduce unnecessary plastics
• Work with Suppliers to package products in size appropriate packaging

Employee Engagement

• Staff training on sustainability best practices.
• Encourage energy-saving behaviours and responsible product handling.

5. Monitoring & Reporting

• Annual carbon footprint calculation for Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
• Progress reported to management and customers, including NHS Supply Chain as required.

6. Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate renewable energy options for offices.
• Implement circular economy initiatives (repair, refurbishment, recycling).
• Encourage staff to work from home to reduce travel
• Encourage staff to use greener means of transport
