Vizient, Inc. announced today a strategic partnership with
leading carbon accounting platform provider Greenly to support
Vizient’s Climate Performance Solutions with greenhouse gas data
collection, analysis and reporting capabilities. The launch marks
the expansion of Vizient’s portfolio of impact spend services to
help providers and suppliers achieve their environmental, social
and governance goals.
“Evolving climate regulations are encouraging sustainable
solutions to improve human health,” said Cristina Indiveri,
associate vice president, core tenet programs, Vizient. “We are
offering healthcare organizations and contracted suppliers a
comprehensive, yet simple approach to gather and report greenhouse
gas data to accelerate decarbonization and climate action.”
To help providers and suppliers achieve their goals, Climate
Performance Solutions addresses many areas of sustainability
including supply chain, energy management, water conservation, and
notably, climate action. Solutions include:
- Greenhouse gas inventory assessment
- Joint Commission Sustainability Certification guidance
- ESG and sustainability regulation compliance
- Sustainability materiality assessment
- Climate action plan
- Funding exploration
By prioritizing “impact spend” — i.e., allocating financial
resources to initiatives that have positive social, environmental
and economic impacts — organizations can drive positive change in
environmental sustainability, supplier diversity and community
development, said Shaleta Dunn Vick, Vizient vice president of ESG
impact spend.
“So many Vizient provider customers are already seeing the
benefits of our ESG impact spend program,” said Dunn Vick. “Not
only are they seeing a reduced environmental impact, but they’re
also seeing operational efficiencies, cost savings and stronger
community relations.”
Alexis Normand, CEO of Greenly said, “With the growing interest
in improving the longevity and quality of human life in the past
couple of decades, it is important to remember that a healthier
environment can unlock huge gains for the human condition. Through
this strategic partnership with Vizient, we are pleased to be
empowering healthcare providers and scientific research in being
more mindful of their impact on the environment.”
