Sustainable Healthcare Coalition

Our Purpose is to facilitate the journey towards good health and wellbeing on a finite planet, through open-minded collaboration across public and private healthcare. We are a partnership of healthcare companies and other health agencies drawn together to address some of the most pressing sustainability issues in global healthcare. The Sustainable Healthcare Coalition is a healthcare sector led group that looks for the greatest opportunities to inspire sustainable practices in healthcare through the collaboration of its members. Sustainability is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of health. Although healthcare largely improves lives, it can also contribute to environmental and social issues such as consuming scarce resources, generating unnecessary waste, contributing to poor social standards in supply chains, or releasing hazardous substances, amongst many others. With an increasing need for health services and higher demands on resources, a transformative change is needed to redesign health systems to be more sustainable. Focusing on key obstacles, the partnership shares data and insights, and develops best-practice guidance for use in healthcare systems and their supply chain partners. The partnership learns through evaluation and promotes stories of impact, designed to inform and inspire global health systems to make the transition to sustainability.
