Improving Environmental Sustainability in Veterinary Practice
We are extremely proud of the fact that Davies was the first veterinary practice to achieve accreditation from Investors in the Environment (iiE)
We were first awarded iiE’s top level Green accreditation in 2019, with a primary focus on improving our environmental sustainability, and since then we have continued to be recognised by the iiE for our efforts in improving environmental sustainability in veterinary practice.
Our intent is to more than just improve our own sustainability; we want to help other practices navigate the steps they take to improve both environmental and social sustainability in their own veterinary practice. Below you can access information on why we chose to be audited and achieve the accreditation and why sustainability is important to us. You can also access our press releases, our Environmental Policy and more about our initiatives in the ‘Your questions answered’ section.
We are delighted that our Green Group have been honoured by the iiE for their continued work to improve both our sustainability and help other practices introduce their own environmental initiatives. They were selected as ‘Best Green Champion’ in the medium-sized business category at the 2019 iiE awards. Davies has continued to win recognition from the iiE for our pioneering work and was awarded ‘Sustainability Influencer of the Year’ in 2020 and ‘Natural Environment Champion’ in 2021.
In 2023, Davies was nominated for the “Outstanding Achiever Award” by the iiE team for the outstanding progress Davies has made towards sustainability.
We are in a rural and peaceful location in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. In addition to our sustainability efforts, our team also enjoy measuring the biodiversity found at the Davies site. Have a look here to see what we’ve seen recently www.inaturalist.org/projects/davies-biodiversity
