A Sustainable Highland Hospice
The Board of Trustees have approved a Sustainability Action Plan which places equal emphasis on social, economic and environmental goals. Whilst we are and will remain a charity dedicated to improving people’s experience at the end of life, we will measure our success not solely in terms of patients and families supported or our financial position, but also through the health of our organisation and the impact we have on our communities, and on the environment. In so doing, not only will we make Highland Hospice a sustainable organisation, but we will also contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Sustainability Action Plan commits us to:
- Prepare strategies, policies and actions to further our social, economic and environmental goals
- Measure, review and report our progress against our goals
- Communicate our ambitions and progress to the people in our organisation and our stakeholders
- Provide appropriate resources to meet our sustainability commitments
- Provide training, advice and information to staff and volunteers, enabling them to develop and implement new ideas which help meet our goals.
Fair Work First
Highland Hospice is committed to advancing the Scottish Government Fair Work First policy to ensure fair working practices are in place for employees and volunteers. The Hospice is proud to be recognised as an Investor in People at Gold Level, highlighting how valued and respected our workforce is and how passionate and committed they feel about what we do and the impact for the people we support. Our commitment to Fair Work First is included within our Sustainability Strategy as part of our Social goal. Download our Fair Work First statement in full below.
