Impact purchasing commitment
The Impact Purchasing Commitment (IPC) launched with the support of 12 health systems and was designed by the Healthcare Anchor Network in partnership with Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth.
What we buy matters. Sustainability professionals and purchasing managers can work together to embed sustainability into purchasing processes and engage suppliers and group purchasing organizations to provide innovative, sustainable products and services with a reduced impact on human health and the environment.
Practice Greenhealth has more than two decades’ experience identifying the criteria that determine which products and equipment live up to their “green” promises. We know how to bring sustainable products and purchasing practices to a hospital without hurting the bottom line or taking time away from patient care.
We’re not just sustainability experts – we’ve walked the halls of the hospital and now guide employees on approaches and best practices to create change.
