Here at #ClimateWeekNYC, I'm struck by the optimism and grit of the leaders gathered here from around the world. The climate-health crisis is undoubtedly daunting, but over the past few days, I've heard about partnerships and programs that have long been "walking the talk," working to mitigate the environmental impact of healthcare and inspiring examples of community-driven solutions to adapt health systems to changing health needs driven by the climate crisis. I've also been fortunate to be able to share examples of how AstraZeneca is taking climate action at scale - from renewable energy and clean heat, to nature-based solutions and embracing a more circular approach. Through these dialogues, three points have crystalised for me: - Innovative partnerships can drive health sector decarbonisation at scale. We need to look beyond our immediate sector to develop creative solutions to our toughest challenges. - In discussing the climate crisis and its impact on health, we cannot forget nature and biodiversity. - There is no one who will solve this challenge for us - we know what to do and we must take action at scale today, not tomorrow. I extend my heartfelt thanks to those driving this important action - from scientists in our labs, to environmental specialists and our diverse network of suppliers. To name a few: Nataša Vidmar Ben Norbury Sarah Argoud Joris Silon Andy Wirths Laura Mann Stacy MontejoDarren Trotter Dave Ennis Matt Shaughnessy Fredrik Hellman John Atkinson Pam Cheng No one is waiting in the wings, it's on all of us to act!

Healthy planet. Healthy people. Can't have one without the other. I'm so proud of #mycompany for doing its part to advance environmental health with real data and real actions. #sustainability #climateemergency #climatechange #gogreen #environmentalhealth

Natera's 2023 ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) report is out now! It's incredible to see the results of a commitment to ethical, social, and sustainable practices this past year.💙In 2023 we served 1.7M patients, empowering them on their healthcare journeys. #Natera #ESG #EmpoweredHealthcare https://ow.ly/iNfN30sF67r

The need to take bold climate action now and strengthen health systems so that they are fit to respond to the needs of today and tomorrow was the call to action AstraZeneca shared at #ClimateWeekNYC and the UN General Assembly in New York. The interconnection between climate and health is undeniable, and I am convinced that through collaboration across the health sector and beyond we will build a more sustainable future.

We live in a data-driven world. Measurement is the best way to improve performance.    That accountability is the driving force behind our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. Our annual Health for Humanity Report details our steady progress against all four of our ESG areas of focus:      · Championing global health equity  · Empowering our employees  · Advancing environmental health  · Leading with accountability and innovation.     At Johnson & Johnson, we blend heart, science, and ingenuity to profoundly impact health for humanity. The #Health4Humanity Report shows how we are making steady progress toward that goal.     You can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e9B8DVDj

Our annual #Health4Humanity Report, linked below, is just the latest chapter in our 138-year-long commitment to solving the toughest health challenges, driven by heart and purpose. My gratitude to Joaquin Duato for continuing to lead in the legacy of the company’s founders and Our Credo. Read more below and in the report. #mycompany

👇 That's a key takeaway from yesterday’s 'Measuring Human Impact on Ocean Health,' roundtable, co-hosted by HUB Ocean and Investable Oceans during #ClimateWeek in NYC. The discussion brought together thought leaders and doers from investment/finance, policy, academia, NGOs, and commercial #Geodata communities to explore the link between ocean-based investments and ESG risk/opportunity assessment requirements. Promoting industry-specific metrics is crucial for measuring the impact of stakeholders on the ocean, encouraging investment, and ensuring sustainability 🌊 #SDG14 #OceanScience #Sustainability #SafeAndLiveableWorld

"GE HealthCare began the journey as an independent, publicly listed company in January 2023 with a purpose to create a world where healthcare has no limits. ESG considerations are central to our vision and we are working to embed these principles into the core of our business and risk management.” -Peter J Arduini, President and CEO, GE HealthCare. A link to our full 2022 Sustainability Report is provided. I am also extremely exciting to be a part of the Global Anesthesia team and play a small role in GE HealthCare's sustainability initiatives. In March 2022, GE HealthCare received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) premarket approval for the End-tidal (Et) Control software for use with one of our general anesthesia delivery system offerings. This enables a potential 44% decline in GHG emissions due to a number of efficiencies and also provides a potential 27% reduction in operating room costs.
