Sustainability
We are proud to be recognised by the UK SME Climate Hub as part of the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, and join governments, businesses, cities, regions, and universities around the world that share the same mission.
The SME Climate Hub is an initiative of the We Mean Business Coalition, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, the United Nations Race to Zero campaign and the International Chamber of Commerce. This partnership is an exercise in radical collaboration that opens the doors for SMEs to join the United Nations Race to Zero campaign — an international campaign that brings together an unprecedented coalition of real economy actors and 120 governments committed to achieve net-zero emissions by no later than 2050. In collaboration with the Net Zero team at Oxford University, the SME Climate Hub provides tools and resources to enable SMEs to make a climate commitment, take action and measure their progress. It is our belief that climate action is everyone’s business.
Recognising that climate change poses a threat to the economy, nature and society-at-large, our company commits to take action immediately in order to:
- Halve our greenhouse gas emissions before 2030
- Achieve net zero emissions before 2045
- Disclose our progress on a yearly basis
Our target is aligned with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement — limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above preindustrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C, with no or low overshoot.
It is also in line with the NHS and UK Government’s commitment to reaching net-zero emissions by 2045.
Guru Krishnamoorthy, Penlon's CEO said:
The link between climate health and human health is becoming ever more inextricable. For us at Penlon, delivering on our mission to develop world-renowned medical devices sustainably is a core responsibility.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the best to all our stakeholders. Our customers, our people and the planet we live in are key stakeholders in our business. That is why we are very proud to be committing to this journey to Net-Zero.
