Sustainable care for people and planet

How can the healthcare sector reduce its carbon footprint without compromising care quality? Discover the latest strategies for sustainable care at the World of Healthcare event 2024.

During the panel discussion in Rotterdam, Lorena Montenegro, Sustainability Lead at Deerns, together with other leading experts will address the global shift towards sustainable and flexible healthcare systems. They will discuss innovative strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of healthcare and show how the Netherlands is leading the way in this.

Changes in healthcare are increasing the demand for flexible and sustainable care environments, with modern hospitals striving to comply with the ‘Green Deal Sustainable Care’ to achieve the 2050 sustainability goals. Deerns helps organisations map their carbon impact and create a roadmap to reduce it.

Lorena explains, ‘Moving with the changing demands of healthcare while continuing to provide high-quality care requires a comprehensive design approach. We need to take into account building energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness and the well-being of medical staff, among other things.’
