Project: Hospital

This hospital’s Corporate Social Responsibility Director was facing a lack of sustainability funding and support from leadership and needed to prove its green business case for sustainability action in a way that engaged executive management.

Sustainable Business Consulting assisted the hospital by:

• Benchmarking competitors to identify where its peers were setting their vision, goals, and areas of focus for improvement
• Creating a Corporate Social Responsibility Report “short” briefing that highlighted its major actions, 2020 sustainability goals, and areas that needed attention
• Built a formal business case for funding with a 3-year sustainability implementation roadmap to enable the program be successful

The CSR Director was equipped with a strong business case for sustainability and the hospital increased its funding. The department added staff and bandwidth to become a more vocal corporate responsibility leader both locally and nationally, ultimately resulting in a seat at the White House’s National Dialogue on Climate Change and Health.
