Social Responsibility
Green & Healthy Hospital
With the destructive forces threatening the environment and public health in a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle, the issue of green construction particularly concerning the health sector has become more pressing than ever. Bio waste and the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gasses are a few examples of the environmental issues that concern the construction and design of healthcare spaces.
Limiting the environmental footprint of construction is not the only benefit of improving the process of construction, however, as abiding by the relevant standards such as ISO14000 can bring considerable cost savings across the life-cycle of the project in addition to increasing the useful life of the project.
To improve the state of sustainable development in the health sector, “Global Green and Healthy Hospitals” has created an international network, defining goals and standards in addition to providing guidelines and methods for reaching them.
