It\u2019s no secret that climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. While there are many ways to reduce your carbon footprint, one often overlooked way is through the choices you make when it comes to your health. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to announce that Better2Know is the only carbon-neutral private testing company in the direct to patient market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better2Know<\/a> is proud to be the first and only carbon-neutral private testing company in the United Kingdom. We recognise that as a business we have a responsibility to operate in an environmentally sustainable way and offset our emissions where possible. For every test carried out at our labs, we offset our emissions by making funding carbon sequestration projects such as tree planting. These projects remove carbon from the environment and reduce our company’s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Carbon Neutral?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a company to be carbon neutral this means that the organisation has offset or reduced its carbon emissions to zero. Carbon emissions include all man made greenhouse gases that are harmful to the planet. The Better2Know team has made a commitment to being carbon neutral throughout all of these operations worldwide. This means that it supports renewable energy sources e.g solar, wind and hydropower. As well as funding tree planting projects to offset its carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better2Know is a Carbon Neutral Company.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We provide our clients with a safe and effective way to receive direct-to-patient testing in the most environmentally friendly manner. We know that our patients care about the state of the planet and do not want to cause additional damage. This is why being carbon neutral is important to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does Better2Know Offset its Carbon Footprint?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Better2Know will be offsetting its own carbon emissions by investing in renewable energy sources and reforestation projects. These offsetting methods give back to the planet and provide a way for sustainable practices to be implemented in an effortless manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognise that carbon emissions are unavoidable within our business, so we\u2019ve decided to go further by offsetting these emissions generated within the organisation. We have committed ourselves to be carbon neutral in every aspect of our business operations. These include sourcing materials, energy-efficient manufacturing processes and waste management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, we’re committed to providing high-quality healthcare services and recognise that our impact on the environment is paramount to achieving this goal. To do so, we have focused on implementing multiple sustainability measures throughout the organisation. We are proud to be the only certified carbon neutral direct to patient healthcare provider. We know how important it is to care for the planet and that is why we have invested heavily to become carbon neutral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
