H2E Pledge
We share H2E’s vision of a health care system that recognizes the link between our material choices and operations and our health, and are working to make that system a reality by supporting environmental sustainability in our own facilities and organizations. As an H2E Partner, we pledge to support…
- Virtual elimination of mercury
- Reduction of the quantity and toxicity of health care waste - from manufacturing, purchase and use of products and materials, to improved end-of-life management
- Minimization of use and exposure to hazardous chemicals, including persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances
- Reducing health care’s environmental footprint through resource conservation and other measurable environmental improvements
- Integrating sustainable design and building techniques with environmentally sound operational practices to create true healing environment.
In addition, if we are a company that manufactures or sells products, we pledge that these products do not contain mercury, PBTs, or highly hazardous chemicals, or generate them in their manufacture or disposal. We pledge to provide products and services that will help health care facilities reduce the environmental impacts of their operations.
