• Sustainable procurement and supply chain in healthcare

    Short Survey
    Sustainable procurement and supply chain in healthcare

  • Procurement is the main source of emissions in the healthcare sector. It is also one of the most important ways hospitals can advance environmental sustainability. Sustainable procurement helps strengthen financial and operational resilience from disruptions while supporting broader climate and public health objectives. 

    To support IHF hospitals in their efforts to implement sustainable procurement practices, we would like to understand more about your current state and barriers when it comes to sustainable procurement and supply chain.

    The insights generated will enable a more effective and targeted approach while putting the needs of hospitals front and center. This short diagnostic survey is anonymous, and the results will be shared with the entire IHF network.
