CLIMATE SMART HEALTHCARE

Updated: Mar 28, 2023



Netcare has once again been awarded gold medals in all four categories of the 2022 global Health Care Climate Challenge Awards. This is the third consecutive year that it has received the highest accolade by Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH), an initiative of Health Care Without Harm (HCWH). The four categories in which the Group has achieved gold medals are Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Energy), Renewable Energy, Climate Resilience, and Climate Leadership.


Dr Richard Friedland, CEO of Netcare, said that the group is committed to continue advancing its environmental sustainability and has outperformed its original targets, having achieved a 35% reduction in energy intensity per bed. They are also focussing on water and waste and have already achieved a 23% reduction in water utilisation per bed.


Netcare launched its environmental sustainability programme in 2013, which resulted in the group’s first gold medal in 2015 in the inaugural Health Care Climate Challenge Awards. The group has reduced its Scope 2 emissions generated by purchased electricity consumed by the company, to zero. It aims to achieve 100% renewable energy, zero waste to landfill and a 20% reduction in its water utilisation by 2030.”
