The 2025 National Sustainability Awards

I am pleased to share that HATS Group has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2025 National Sustainability Awards!

We are finalists for the Green Fleet Award, in partnership with Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and for the Sustainable Transport Award, acknowledging our contributions to decarbonise non-emergency patient transport and lead the way in healthcare sustainability.

Our shortlisted initiative with Hillingdon Hospital delivered the United Kingdom’s first fully net-zero Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service, achieving over 8,000 zero-emission patient journeys each year. This transformation began with a single electric ambulance in 2021 and reached full electrification of the Hillingdon fleet by April 2025.

The service is powered entirely by renewable energy, using a custom-designed electric vehicle fleet and solar-enabled charging infrastructure. It eliminates more than 23 tonnes of CO₂e annually, enhances patient comfort through smoother, quieter rides, and proves that environmental innovation can go hand-in-hand with outstanding clinical care. Crucially, the project was delivered at no additional cost to the NHS, creating a scalable model for other Trusts.

We are honoured to be recognised alongside outstanding organisations such as DPD UK, Evri, Kuehne & Nagel Government and Defence, Ohme, Sherbet London, Westmorland & Furness Council, and the Northern Lighthouse Board. To be considered in such company is a significant acknowledgement of the work our team has undertaken to push the boundaries of sustainable healthcare logistics.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this project possible.

Let us continue to lead by example.
