Environmental benchmarking for hospitals: The Green Hospital Scorecard is free for hospitals across Canada

Published on

The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care is pleased to be offering the Green Hospital Scorecard to facilities across Canada, thanks to support from our new partner – Health Canada!

As hosts of Canada’s only comprehensive environmental benchmarking tool for health care, the Coalition is excited to continue our focus on helping organisations measure their performance in a number of areas including water, energy, waste, pollution prevention, leadership, food, transportation and climate change-related resilience and mitigation.

Health Canada’s commitment to climate resilience and mitigation makes them a perfect partner to help us deliver our survey to fit the growing need for climate action in health care facilities.

The 2022 Green Hospital Scorecard survey (2021 data) will be released in March 2023, stay tuned for the data call announcement.

Please contact autumn@greenhealthcare.ca if you want to learn more, or have any questions on the Scorecard.

The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care is Canada’s premier green health care resource network and is leading the evolution of sustainability in Canada’s health sector as a national voice and catalyst for environmental change. Our vision is a resilient, sustainable and low-carbon health system. https://greenhealthcare.ca/
