Get your team involved

Sustainability efforts are more successful when the whole team
is engaged. Numark provides resources and training through
partners like Buttercups to educate staff on eco-friendly
practices. Establishing a ‘green team’ within your pharmacy
can lead to innovative ideas and successful implementation of
sustainable initiatives.

Becoming more sustainable isn’t just about protecting the planet—it can also save money,
improve efficiency, and enhance your pharmacy’s reputation with customers who value
eco-conscious businesses. By leveraging Numark’s Discount Partners and resources,
your pharmacy can effectively implement sustainable practices that benefit both the
environment and your business operations.
As Numark members continue to prioritise the NHS’s "Net Zero" agenda, adopting these
sustainability tips will not only help reduce resource use and waste but also contribute to
broader environmental goals. Join us in building a sustainable future, one step at a time.
