Practice Greenhealth’s 2016 Sustainability Benchmark Report highlights the achievements of the 2016 Environmental Excellence award winners. More than 300 hospitals provided data for this year’s report, with combined savings of more than $92 million across a range of environmental program areas. The new report provides not only a benchmarking comparison for hospitals already engaged in the work, but also showcases a range of success stories demonstrating how a commitment to a healthy environment can assist health care administrators in achieving financial goals while engaging and empowering staff and supporting community health. The report is organized in 10 topical areas: leadership, waste, chemicals, operating room, food, environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP), energy, water, climate, and green building.
