This report provides a comprehensive overview of the carbon emissions generated by our organisation in 2023. By analysing our carbon footprint, we can identify areas for improvement and establish practical steps to reduce our environmental impact, thereby contributing to broader sustainability objectives.

Key priorities for the British Society of Gastroenterology since 2021 have been to:

• Engage membership to undertake and embed sustainability at all levels in their workplace and personal space.
• Partner with organisations like JAG, BASL, UKHACC and regional BSG groups to help implement and measure changes at unit level. A sustainability commitment should be made a primary rule of engagement. 
• Educate and empower our patients to make decisions about their care focusing not only on high-quality of clinical care but also caring for the health of the environment.
• Embed sustainable practice across all aspects and activities of the organisation including operational management of of both day-to-day activities as well as events and meetings run by the BSG.
