Sustainability governance

Body

Strong governance for sustainability programming in health care is paramount to success. Successful sustainability programming in any industry relies upon more than passion. Practice Greenhealth guides health care organizations to focus on the core elements of developing strong sustainability governance, including establishing sustainability documents, structures, and resourcing.

 

Our definition of sustainability governance

The systems through which an organization’s sustainability activities are directed, controlled, and held to account. Good governance is a crucial foundation for long-term success – it creates stakeholder confidence and ensures resilience in the face of challenges and changes.
