In this insightful conversation, Karl Walker Finch joins Ross to discuss how his dental practice has successfully embedded sustainability at its core without significant cost or disruption. Karl shares the story of gradually introducing eco-friendly changes, such as appointing a sustainability champion, reducing patient and staff travel, minimising waste, and improving diary and workflow efficiency, which led to a 35% reduction in the practice’s carbon footprint in just one year. He emphasises that sustainability is not only achievable and affordable but can also improve team engagement and profitability. Free resources like ZeroBees, Denplan’s carbon calculator, and the FDI’s sustainability toolkit offer excellent starting points for other practices looking to take the first step.
