Our Environmental Sustainability Strategy
At Naomi House & Jacksplace we acknowledge the impact our services and activities have on the environment.
We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint to ensure a healthier future for those that we serve and the community around us.
Embracing environmental responsibility is not only a moral obligation for the charity, but a strategic imperative. It aligns with our Values, enhances our Mission and Vision, and ensures efficient resource allocation.
This strategy sets out how we want to achieve environmental sustainability and shares our goals, objectives, and deliverables.
“Our Vision states clearly that we want a future where children, young adults and their families have access to compassionate support and expert palliative care, when and where they need it. By enhancing our environmental sustainability, we are acting responsibly towards our planet and staying committed to being here for families who need us, not just today, but every day, now and in the future.”

- Our waste and water use.
- Our supply chain emissions.
- Report annually on our carbon footprint against our target to net zero.
- Educate and engage stakeholders, incorporating the perspectives of our service users.
Our Medium Term Goals
- Invest in energy efficient technologies, upgrade the Building Management System and install solar panels.
- Switch to energy suppliers that provide 100% renewable energy, where possible.
- Implement water efficiency across the organisation.
