Peter awarded sustainability fellowship status

We are pleased to announce that Peter Leighton-Jones, Head of Sustainability for the Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, has been awarded Fellow Member status by the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP).

This award is the highest level of professional recognition within this global vocational accreditation body and highlight’s Peter’s role as both a leader in, and an ambassador for, sustainability.

ISEP’s mission is to empower its members to become systemic changemakers, who act at the forefront of driving sustainable transitions that deliver for the environment, society and the economy, in unison.

This achievement reflects Peter’s significant expertise, leadership and impact in advancing sustainability within the healthcare sector in recent times, and also in local government before he moved to the NHS.

As Head of Sustainability at an acute NHS trust like Mid Yorkshire, Peter’s fellowship not only validates the strategic importance of our environmental work but also elevates the organisation’s profile nationally, demonstrating our commitment to embedding sustainability at the heart of healthcare delivery.

Peter is now one of only around 350 ISEP Fellows worldwide.

Peter said of the award:

”I’m honoured to be recognised as a Fellow of the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals.

“This reflects not just my longstanding personal commitment to the sustainability agenda, but also the progress we’re making as an NHS trust to embed environmental responsibility into the heart of healthcare, which is exemplified by the £10m of grant money we’ve successfully bid for in recent times. It’s a privilege to help lead that journey.”
