Patient Earth: decarbonising health systems through partnership

Climate change is the greatest health threat facing humanity.

Health systems are responding to the impacts of the climate crisis but are also responsible for 4-5% of total global net emissions.

Through the Sustainable Markets Initiative Health Systems Task Force, championed by AstraZeneca’s CEO Sir Pascal Soriot, we’re taking joint action to accelerate the delivery of net zero health systems. As a sector-first, members are taking scalable action to decarbonise in three priority areas: supply chains, patient care pathways and clinical trials.

Our planet is not just our home now, it is our patient. Through public-private partnership, we’re working to achieve positive and sustainable change for the health of people, society and the planet.

The Sustainable Markets Initiative Health Systems Task Force brings together CEOs and leaders from AstraZeneca, GSK, Merck, Novo Nordisk, Roche, Samsung Biologics, Sanofi, the Karolinska Institutet, National Health Service England, the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition, UNICEF, the University of Pavia, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
