Sustainability overview

Making a better world

Driven by purpose

We’re driven by our purpose of ‘Helping people live longer, happier, healthier lives and making a better world’.

We want to deliver better health outcomes to more people. As we grow, we continue to put sustainability at the heart of our strategy.

Reimagining healthcare forhealthier societies

Our three focus areas

Our health is shaped by the world around us – from the ecosystems we depend on, to the communities we live in. With health systems under strain, social inequality growing and the climate crisis compounding the world’s health issues, we’ve identified three key areas where we can have the most impact.

1. Making healthcare more accessible

Supporting millions more people with better, more affordable access to preventative healthcare and using digital technology to scale our sustainable impact.

2. Championing healthier communities

Creating healthier, more inclusive communities – helping people stay well in a changing climate.

3. Reducing impact and caring for the planet

Reducing our impact on the planet and helping restore the key natural ecosystems that are the foundations for good health.

Spotlight: Healthy Cities

Through Healthy Cities, we aim to support people’s health in a changing climate and help people make the link between their health and the environment.

Our nature regeneration efforts focus on deprived urban areas across cities where Bupa has a presence, and peri-urban areas where nature is declining.

Our sustainability progress

Three years ago, we refreshed our sustainability strategy base around three missions.

We focused our efforts on reducing our environmental impact, accelerating the impact of sustainable healthcare, and helping regenerate the health of our planet.

Resilient Cities – The Case for Action

The Case for Action report highlights the power of prevention to support health in a changing climate and reveals how practical, city-led interventions can ease pressure on health systems while delivering major health and climate benefits.

Future Proofing Health Care – Innovations to support people and planet

The second edition of Bupa's healthy and climate-resilient cities report details what is needed to help the next generation of city leaders and urban designers develop a new model for cities, that puts health at the centre of design to better support people in a changing climate.
