Unit 11 Carnforth Business Park,We view innovation as something tangible. Something our clients can experience, and something that delivers value. So, we’re always working to bring new environmentally safe and sustainable products to market, like our novel zero-waste cleaning product - CleanZero.
At 2San, we are actively working to reduce our emissions and energy consumption both in our day-to-day operations and throughout our partner network.
We choose sea and rail freight routes over road and air where we can and deliver full container loads to minimise journey miles. We also strategically locate our distribution hubs close to our customer geographies to minimise our carbon footprint.
Our environmental management system helps us manage, monitor, and control our environmental impact and aligns to ISO 14001.
We are committed to tackling climate change and acknowledge that we have a significant role to play in both reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and providing the leadership to encourage our customers, partners, and other organisations to take action to cut theirs.
As of September 2022, we pledge to reduce our carbon footprint in the UK by 50% by 2030, and to become a net zero carbon organisation by 2045.
Our five-year carbon reduction plan and baseline footprint cover Scopes 1, 2 & 3 UK emissions, details of which are available on request.
We partner only with logistics companies and distributors who are proactive in their approach to reducing CO2 emissions. Many of them have joined the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and the 1.5°C Supply Chain Leaders, committing to halving emissions every decade until 2050 and devoting themselves to exploring innovative ways to reach net-zero emissions.
2San is a leading distributor of high-quality, fully certified medical consumables. As such, we view it as our responsibility to prioritise waste reduction and single use plastics wherever possible, and to ensure our products are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
We are currently working with our partners to develop a range of polymer plastic components that are fully recyclable and/or biodegradable and a new circular production model to encourage waste products to be returned for re-use and recycling.
We are here to drive meaningful change across the areas we work in so that everyone, no matter where they are, can access better care. We also want to support the communities we work in, through volunteering, knowledge sharing and nurturing local talented people.
We’ve, therefore, begun our journey to ‘give back’ and are proud to be in the preliminary stages of creating the ‘2San Foundation’ (2SF). 2SF’s aim is to provide life-enhancing opportunities to a diverse range of people, particularly those with barriers to health and wellbeing support, through learning and developing new skills and experiences.
We’re also working tirelessly with our supply chain and distributors to improve 2San’s global environmental footprint through energy-saving opportunities and cleaner, more efficient ways of operating.
How we’re helping
We’re committed to making a positive contribution to our customers, our employees, the environment, and the wider communities where we operate.
Environmental impacts
As a global supplier, we’re taking proactive steps to reduce our own CO2 emissions and through partnering with like-minded suppliers. We’re committed to becoming a carbon neutral business by 2045.
Social impacts
2San was born in the pandemic, out of the need to supply vital COVID-19 supplies to businesses and governments worldwide. We want to help re-build the communities we work in, to pre-pandemic states and beyond.
Sustainable governance
At the very heart of 2San is a culture and ethos that relentlessly strives for operational excellence and continual improvement. We aim to create as many positive impacts through our sustainability efforts, and to be an industry leading player in this respect.
Innovating for sustainability
Our mission is to empower people to lead better lives through products that are accessible, affordable, sustainable, and high-quality. Sustainability to us is not a tagline, it embodies the way our business operates and how we innovate.
