The CAHO Healthcare Sustainability Forum is a pioneering platform dedicated to embedding environmental, social and governance with ethical practices into healthcare practices. Recognizing the increasing imperative to deliver high-quality patient care while ensuring ecological stewardship and community well-being, this forum unites healthcare professionals, sustainability champions, and visionary leaders. Our collective aim is to foster collaboration, disseminate best practices, and implement impactful initiatives that drive comprehensive sustainability. The forum champions dialogue and action on climate resilience, resource optimization (including financial and human resources), waste management (encompassing responsible disposal and circularity), and innovations that promote healthier environments and equitable access to care.

MISSION
To empower and guide healthcare institutions in adopting sustainable, ethical, and economically sound practices by integrating robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This includes strengthening capacity for green healthcare, fostering collaborative networks for shared knowledge, and advancing innovations that simultaneously improve health outcomes, enhance community well-being, and minimize environmental impact.
VISION
To cultivate a healthcare ecosystem that serves as a global benchmark for environmental stewardship, social equity, and strong governance. Our vision is for every hospital to operate as a beacon of healing with sustainability, delivering excellent care while ensuring long-term economic resilience and a positive impact on both people and the planet.
