CliniMed Go Green! - The Downsizing of CliniMed’s Carbon Footprint

LONDON - Aug. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- London, ENGLAND – August, 2013. CliniMed are not only committed to providing an excellent service in marketing and distributing medical supplies for Stoma Care (http://www.clinimed.co.uk/stoma-care.aspx),  Continence (http://www.clinimed.co.uk/urology-continence-care.aspx) Care and Wound Care (http://www.clinimed.co.uk/wound-care.aspx);they are also committed to being as green as possible whilst doing so. Factors such as the choice of company car and the effective planning of business trips can cut C02 emissions, making a company that little bit greener: this is exactly what CliniMed have turned their attention to.

CliniMed’s previous environmental targets have been to reduce their tonnage per mile by at least 1%.  As well as this, they have also been tracking their overall number of business miles per company car driver and the average C02 emissions of the cars they drive. With attention to these factors, CliniMed reduced their tonnage per mile by 6.84% between 2011/12; a fantastic result. Yet with CliniMed’s “can do” attitude, they believe they can do even more to cut their C02 emissions and be as green as possible. Their targets for 2013 are to reduce the average C02 emissions per vehicle to under 120, and to reduce the tonnage per mile produced by their fleet by a further 2.5%.

 

 

 

CliniMed are significantly and consistently reducing their C02 outputs against an increasing fleet.  With staff awareness of CliniMed’s ambitions to be as green as possible, they are now naturally selecting vehicles with lower C02 emissions, helping the company in their ambitious  plans to reduce their C02 emissions even further this year. 

With CliniMed staff so proactive in lowering their carbon footprint, perhaps it is not surprising that some of their products also aspire to be green.  The FreeStyle Vie Flushable colostomy bag, for instance, is made of a biodegradable inner liner and an outer pouch which can simply be flushed down the toilet. The clean outer pouch can then be disposed of and is fully recyclable.

CliniMed have displayed a service that is not only committed to excellent customer care but also admirable environmental care.
