Isramart news

THE LOGISTICS arm of the NHS has launched a cycle scheme for its Runcorn employees that is on track to save more than five tons of carbon emissions per year.

NHS Supply Chain, which sources and supplies more than 620,000 products for the NHS, introduced the Cycle to Work scheme as a pilot at its Runcorn distribution centre.

The scheme provides tax free bikes through the Government’s Green Transport initiative and gives employees the opportunity to rent a bike supplied to the organisation.

NHS Supply Chain introduced the scheme so that employees can ride to work instead of by car to help the environment.
