CPSBC sustainability position statement
CPSBC has published a position statement to publicly communicate its environmental and sustainability priorities, and its commitment to address them.
The position statement was approved by the Board in February and outlines the following key areas and goals:
- Value chain impacts
- Implement a sustainable procurement framework, including a checklist and vendor questionnaire, to encourage all partners to meet comprehensive sustainability criteria.
- Sustainable operations
- Optimize CPSBC’s operations to reduce environmental impact across key areas, including transportation, energy and water consumption, and IT practices.
- Broader health-care influence
- Foster collaborative partnerships with organizations to offer educational opportunities and resources to registrants on environmental and sustainability issues. This includes promoting best practices and providing guidance on topics such as climate change mitigation, adaptation, and reducing medical waste.
The position statement is part of the ad hoc Environmental and Sustainability Committee’s (ESC) multi-year roadmap. The ESC will begin engaging with internal and external audiences to set goals and targets to support the position statement’s key areas.
