The Galician Health Cluster (CSG) took part in the ceremony awarding the GHG Protocol certification to the Galician Health Service (Servizo Galego de Saúde), held in Santiago de Compostela. The event recognized the Galician healthcare system’s commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction, aligned with the international standards of the GHG Protocol.
DDuring the ceremony, the documentary “Sustainability as a Driver of Change in the Galician Health Service” was screened, showcasing the work carried out by SERGAS in the field of sustainability. This was followed by a round table focused on decarbonizing the healthcare sector, featuring representatives from ECODES (Ecology and Development Foundation), AENOR, and the General Manager of SERGAS, José Ramón Parada Jorgal.
At the event, the certifying body AENOR formally handed over the certification to the Regional Minister of Health and the SERGAS General Manager, who in turn acknowledged the active involvement of the seven participating health areas and of Galaria EPSS, SA —a CSG member organization— in the process of evaluating and improving their carbon footprint.
At CSG, we value initiatives like this that promote the sustainable transformation of the healthcare system by integrating health, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
