How Jump is powering the Dorset NHS sustainability strategy
Jump is thrilled to partner with five NHS organisations in Dorset to launch the Ecoearn programme. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to engage over 24,000 staff members in sustainable behaviours, promoting Dorset NHS sustainability. This programme represents a key step toward the ambitious goal of achieving net zero across the Integrated Care System (ICS).

Driving Engagement Through Technology
Our bespoke app and website, is at the heart of this Dorset NHS sustainability initiative. We designed these tools to empower staff to adopt sustainable behaviours while also fostering teamwork.
Participants can form teams to complete eco-friendly actions and earn Green Points. Members can redeem points for vouchers that can be used with local and sustainable businesses. By tying rewards to positive habits, Ecoearn encourages staff to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, it supports the local economy, which benefits the wider community.
Not only does this approach inspire individuals, but it also promotes collective action among teams. For a closer look at how gamification drives engagement, explore Jump’s case studies.
Tools to Empower and Track Progress
The Ecoearn platform does more than just incentivise sustainable actions. It also provides tools to help staff better understand their environmental impact. Features include:
- A Personal Carbon Emissions Calculator: Staff can easily track and measure their progress in reducing emissions.
- Comprehensive Sustainability Information: The platform offers resources to educate and motivate sustainable decisions.
- Key Metrics Tracking: Organisations can monitor engagement, track emissions reductions, and assess electricity savings.
These tools ensure that both staff and organisations can see the tangible results of their efforts. Above all, they reinforce the importance of the Dorset NHS sustainability strategy.

A Unified Commitment to Net Zero
This programme is the first ICS-wide sustainability initiative in Dorset. Stuart Lane, Sustainability and Carbon Manager at University Hospitals Dorset, expressed his enthusiasm, stating:
“We are pleased to have launched the first collaborative ICS sustainability programme of its kind, which will assist us all as a group of Dorset healthcare organisations to move cohesively towards our goal of net zero.”
The Dorset NHS sustainability programme aligns with the ICS’s 2020–2025 strategy. It will play a critical role in meeting long-term environmental targets.
