The mission

ESG Summit
ESG: The Implementation Imperative Summit provides an in-person forum for healthcare executives to convene for high-level education, discussion and collaboration in support of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
This event is a premier opportunity for healthcare leaders and decision-makers to learn and share strategies for practical, cost-effective implementation of initiatives that advance sustainability, social responsibility and conscious board leadership. Attendees will include CEOs, CFOs, COOs, board members, and leaders in supply chain, sustainability and DEI—from both within and outside the healthcare industry.
ESG Webinars
The warming of the planet and the subsequent devastating consequences are pushing federal and local regulators to hold industries accountable for their carbon emissions. At the same time, consumers and employees are increasingly expecting companies to make environmentally conscious business decisions—the social aspect in sustainable investing.
Healthcare is not immune from these shifts, with the sector accounting for nearly 10% of U.S. carbon emissions. By taking action today to achieve environmental sustainability, health systems and hospitals will be better positioned for the future while at the same time improving community outcomes and saving costs.
In this webinar, health system leaders share how they are working towards carbon neutrality through various avenues including construction projects and supply chain procurement. The webinar will also uncover how to implement a strategic environmental sustainability plan, the governance buy-in needed and the reporting mechanisms that should be put into place.
As healthcare leaders explore ways to address the climate crisis, the supply chain is rife with opportunities to make a major impact. As the most significant driver of carbon emissions in healthcare, the supply chain accounts for an estimated 70% of the industry’s carbon footprint.
Addressing scope 3 supply chain emissions – which often represent the majority of an organization’s total greenhouse gas emissions – is complicated, requiring manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and health systems to effectively collaborate and align efforts.
In this webinar, learn key strategies for reducing scope 3 emissions from experts across the healthcare supply chain as they reveal how they are working internally and externally to make an impact and address challenges.
- In-depth feature: Discover why it’s imperative that we all prepare for the health consequences of the climate crisis as patient needs change in response to it – and how leveraging data to make proactive decisions, equipping the workforce for success, and aligning mission and business incentives are the path forward.
- Case study: Real-world insights for tacking scope three and mitigating carbon emissions in the healthcare supply chain, which has emerged as the area with the most potential for impact – and the most challenges.
