Case Study: NHS England accelerates medicines supply chain decarbonisation with BSI's PAS 2090

NHS England uses BSI PAS 2090 to tackle 62% supply-chain emissions

NHS England faced the challenge of decarbonizing its supply chain, specifically for medicines, which account for over a quarter of its emissions. A major obstacle was the lack of a harmonized method to measure and report the environmental impact of pharmaceutical products, which limited data-driven decision-making. To address this, they partnered with BSI to implement the PAS 2090 standard.

BSI's solution was to provide the PAS 2090 framework, which established clear and consistent rules for conducting product-level lifecycle assessments. This standardized the measurement and reporting of emissions, improving data reliability and enabling NHS England to identify emission hotspots, prioritize decarbonization actions, and collaborate effectively with suppliers on reducing the carbon footprint of medicines.
