Healthcare purchasing decisions have real environmental consequences — but knowing which products actually meet sustainability standards shouldn't require hours of research. In this 30-minute session, Greenhealth Approved Sustainability Director Jamie Dwyer breaks down everything health care providers, procurement professionals, facility managers, and specifiers need to know about the Greenhealth Approved Seal: what it is, what it means, and how to put it to work in your purchasing process.

You'll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of what the Greenhealth Approved Seal is and the rigorous environmental criteria behind it provided by Practice Greenhealth and Health Care Without Harm
  • Confidence in how to identify and shop for verified products
  • A one-page reference guide explaining the Seal and its criteria
  • A practical guide on how to ask your current suppliers to pursue Greenhealth Approved verification
