Sustainability
Main Line Health is committed to improving human health through environmental stewardship, recognizing the growing impact of climate change on public well-being. As a healthcare provider, we're implementing strategies to:
- Lower our carbon footprint
- Reduce energy consumption
- Reduce water and waste intensity
- Improve recycling and composting
Main Line Health has joined more than 140 organizations representing 943 countries in signing the Health Sector Climate Pledge. By signing the pledge, Main Line Health commits that it will halve emissions by 2030 from a post-2008 baseline, reach net-zero by 2050, appoint an emissions reduction executive, complete a Scope 3 emissions inventory by 2024 and release a climate resilience plan addressing vulnerable community needs.
This bold initiative not only aligns with our existing sustainability goals, but also strengthens our commitment to creating a future of thriving human and environmental health. We will continue to work arduously to meet these targets because they are crucial guideposts in our ongoing sustainability journey.
