Summary
Green transition is the behavioral intention of health and care providers (HCPs) even in presence of growing healthcare request after COVID-19. However, it requires operational tools to be carried out rapidly with optimal processes and low service costs. CARING NATURE’s (CN) 5 HCP, 5 innovation SMEs, 1 SDO, 2 industries and 5 Universities will construct and implement 10 healthcare specific solutions for carbon emissions and pollution (CEP) reduction demonstrated in 33 use cases.
The 10 CEP-reduction solutions tackle main production sources on which HCP have exclusive control and were they act as principal actors of transition: building energy demand will be addressed through: reduction of environmental impact of construction and renovation, and utilizing AI-powered energy management; reduction and valorization of medical, food and water waste through a HCP tailored pyrolysis plant prototype and an on-site waste food digestion and drying system; reduction of patient/visitors travel through next generation telemedicine. Sustainability transitions require transversal staff and Governance commitment: Staff engagement through participatory methods for Communities of Practice will be explored and systematized. Governance capability of HCPs, policy makers and investors urgently needs an operative framework since to evaluate interventions no simple measuring system of HCP environmental impact exists. CN framework consists of a decision support system based on information sharing, HCP specific social life cycle assessment and life cycle cost and sustainable finance evaluation models together with a reporting model compliant with EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Governance bodies and other stakeholders will benefit from an HCP specific eco-friendly approach to reengineering of processes for enforcing sustainability based on the Green Lean Six Sigma methodology. Opportunities for standardization will be identified and reported.
