Sustainability Examples at Irish Blood Transfusion Service

As the sole organisation charged with preserving the supply of blood and blood products in Ireland, the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) strives to be a leader and an innovator in the efficient production of our supply.

The IBTS is also eager to act as a leader when it comes to legislative changes affecting our organisation. With the signing of the Climate Action Plan by the Government in 2019, we were tasked with operating with increased efficiency with a view to managing our energy use and carbon emissions.

Our ambition is to implement a long-term and robust Roadmap and a Sustainability Strategy to address the impact of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service on the environment while maintaining the supply of Irish blood and blood products in the most sustainable manner possible.
