It is one thing to set ambitious net zero goals, but it is another thing to actually achieve them. We help you plan for the best ROI, choose the best practices for reducing emissions, and work with your team to get results.

We turbocharge your climate action efforts with decades of experience and our research library of best practices. We work with your team to set milestones, select metrics, figure out what practices to use, guide your implementation, and ensure everything goes well.
01

Planning

Our experienced consultants use the diagnostic's recommendations to help your team figure out the best way to approach things, what the timeline should be, who should be on the project team, and what your goals and metrics should be.
02

Workshops

In workshops, the team decides what the best practices are, what needs to be customized, and who will lead each installation. This is where we make our final preparations to solidify our implementation plan.
03

Support

Our staff regularly checks in with your onsite team to monitor and improve how you implement the practices. We also provide quarterly progress reports to leadership to keep everyone in the loop along the way.

CLIMATE ACTIONWORKS GUIDES YOUR PATH 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 into our constant and neverending efforts to uncover the best practices in emissions reductions.

DIAGNOSTICS

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.

IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT

Our team has worked with health systems on many strategic and operational issues for over 25 years. We share our extensive knowledge in a tailored approach for your needs, from leading your teams through workshops and providing toolkits to "at the elbow" support in project management and implementation consulting.

BOOK HIGHLIGHT

LEADING ON CLIMATE CHANGE: HOW HEALTHCARE LEADERS STOP GLOBAL WARMING

Hospitals and health systems contribute 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions from the United States. Particulate emissions from fossil fuels kill 8 million people annually today. The impacts of climate change will kill many more and lead to terrible health impacts for an even larger number.

Climate change is a disaster for human health.

This book first informs healthcare leaders about the issues and how their industry is being pressured to respond by investors, workers, customers, and the government. Then it looks at how other industries are taking climate action, and finally, how health systems across the United States can effectively lower their emissions and become leaders in driving down emissions of their whole community.

SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY
The health system's supply chain is the largest source of emissions by up to sixfold. Understanding the issues with your purchasing and how you can demand better results from suppliers and GPOs will be essential as systems tackle “Scope 3” emissions.

HEALTHCARE CLIMATE PLANNING
The overall energy consumption of a health systems building is tremendous, so naturally, facilities offer many opportunities to reduce emissions. We help you identify "quick wins" with your facilities team and make adjustments toward becoming net zero.

ESG FINANCIAL STRATEGY
The largest source of investment dollars is now in ESG investing. That means that health systems' for-profit partners who need to demonstrate their sustainability to the markets will be pressuring health systems to change. It also means that the debt investors who buy our bonds will be demanding to see our own emissions reduction work.
