National Care Group (NCG) is partnering with resource management consultancies, Click Waste, part of the Novati group, to improve recycling and waste management as set out in its new sustainability strategy.

Launched at NCG’s operations office in Daventry to mark World Earth Day (22 April), the partnership will ensure better management and organisation of waste, increased recycling and will significantly reduce contributions to landfill. NCG will have access to a portal to monitor the weights of the different types of waste recycled each week and the ability to report on what has happened to that waste.

Mark Mason, head of estates and procurement at National Care Group, said: “Our new CSR strategy sets out our commitment to unlocking positive change. The partnership with Novati is the first project announced following the launch of the strategy with more initiatives with other like-minded partners who will work towards our sustainability targets with us to be launched later this year.

“We look forward to collaborating with colleagues and the people we support to see the impact of our new practices over the coming months and years.”

Rachel Jordan, operations director at Novati, said: “We are excited to be collaborating and working in partnership with National Care Group and the people they support to make an impact towards achieving their sustainability goals.

“Working together we will be helping to drive a positive change in how they deal with waste and resources, supporting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for their organisation and the communities in which they thrive.”

National Care Group supports more than 1,300 adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health diagnoses, brain injuries, and complex needs across England and Wales, employing more than 2,700 colleagues.
