Environmental, social and governance management
Discovery, design and delivery balancing people, organisational and world needs
Background
Commercial and public investment in healthcare research and development and product procurement is increasingly influenced by requirements for environmental, social and governance assessment.
Discovery
Lucid’s team continually works toward evidencing fit to factors including:
NHS England net-zero supplier roadmap - including social value and carbon reduction reporting.
Accurately representing users and markets - including diversity of involvement in innovation workshops, design review, human factors and performance evaluation.
Grant, award and commercial funding requirements - often weighted to support sustainability, accessibility and inclusion of under-represented groups in both outputs and the organisations delivering them.
Legal mandates to reduce power consumption, materials waste and consumption of scarce or environmentally damaging resources.
Commercial concerns including ethical and resilient supply chains.
Design
Irrespective of addressing formal requirements, Lucid’s team factors considerations in development including:
Environmental
Potential to reduce, recycle and reuse.
Reducing logistics impacts.
Limiting specification of harmful pollutants and chemicals.
Planning to lower greenhouse gas emissions and CO2 footprint.
Using renewable energy sources.
Social
Improving the relevance of products and services with diverse stakeholder involvement in ideas generation and development.
Optimising the impact of products and with design for inclusive access.
Governance
