Introduction to creating a culture of sustainability

Change happens through people. A successful sustainability program builds a culture that embodies its environmental mission within the assumptions and beliefs of its staff – sustainability then becomes everybody’s job. Further, engaged staff are often willing to play a role in interorganizational collaboration, influencing the supply chain and other key stakeholders. Join this session to learn about stakeholders, communication tools, proven engagement practices, clinical engagement, and how to avoid pitfalls.

Key takeaways:

• Investigate examples of how sustainability can be communicated through one-way messaging such as websites, reports, and media.
• Discover opportunities for human resources to facilitate an active exchange of information with employees on sustainability issues to further understand challenges and build trust.
• Assess the value of strategic engagement of clinical professionals in your organization’s sustainability program.
