World Environment Day 🌍
Every decision at Granta goes through five questions. Does it benefit our patients, our people, our wider community, the profession and the planet?
Our people care deeply about the environment, and factor this into all of our decision making.
When we chose our MRI machine, we decided on one of the very few “zero” helium systems available. We were thrilled to be the first independently owned veterinary practice in the UK to install one. Conventional MRI systems consume and vent liquid helium during operation, a finite, non-renewable resource, but ours doesn't.
We're also excited to be installing Sagetech anaesthetic equipment, which captures the gases used during surgery and recycles them rather than releasing them into the atmosphere.
Beyond that, we’re rainwater harvesting, enjoying a garden planted for bees and butterflies and a walking group for the team, and choosing local suppliers and community partnerships we're genuinely proud of.
We joined the iiE accreditation scheme this year to be more deliberate about all of it. To hold ourselves to a standard, not just a good intention. We are so proud of our actions and progress so far and are excited for what the future holds!
Here's to (some of!) our Green Team 🌿
