CHANGE IS COMING TO HEALTH SYSTEMS
HEALTH SYSTEMS CONTRIBUTE ~10% OF THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
Climate change is killing more than 250,000 people each year, and health systems are responsible for nearly 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. The government has noticed, putting a more significant emphasis on the fight against climate change.
If you don’t have a net zero plan, you risk:
- Growing pressure to take action
- Getting buried in new regulations
- Falling behind in the industry
- Losing workers to the competition

That’s why we work with healthcare systems to find and share proven ways to reduce emissions that have a measurable ROI. And we provide the education, diagnostics, and support you need to lead your health system to net zero emissions.
EDUCATION
We present our research at national meetings, conduct individual onsite presentations and workshops for health systems, and host webinars — all grounded in our constant and neverending efforts to uncover the best practices in emissions reductions.
Learn MoreDIAGNOSTICS
We complete an in-depth examination of your organization — not only your current emissions but your preparedness for tackling them. We analyze your facilities and interview dozens of your team members to understand the team’s knowledge, appetite, and capabilities for reducing emissions. Our extensive process concludes with a full written report, gap analysis, and recommendations for moving forward.
