Environmental Sustainability

Monash Health’s sustainability publications highlight our commitment to the environment and describe how we will continue to improve the sustainability of our operations.

Sustainability Strategy

The Monash Health Sustainability Strategy 2022-2025 outlines our commitment to the environment and how this aligns with Monash Health’s guiding principles as well as Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy.

Our Sustainability Strategy 2022-2025 sets out our goals and objectives for six focus areas for sustainability, including:

  • Buildings and infrastructure
  • Energy efficiency and emissions
  • Organisational culture
  • Procurement
  • Transport and travel
  • Waste management

Sustainability Action Plan

The Sustainability Action Plan 2021–2026 has been developed to clearly define how Monash Health will align with the Victorian Government targets, reduce its environmental footprint and deliver positive sustainability outcomes throughout its operations.

This plan details the actions that will be implemented, monitored and reported on to ensure Monash Health remains on track to achieve its sustainability goals.

The plan is reviewed annually to ensure it aligns with any changes relevant to the State Government’s environmental commitments and as Monash Health’s sustainability journey matures.

Environmental Sustainability Policy

Monash Health’s Environmental Sustainability Policy recognises the impacts of climate change on public health and aids decision-making to improve environmental sustainability and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

The policy commits Monash Health to pursue excellence in environmental sustainability and to manage our resources wisely and sustainably to provide value to our community.

Monash Health’s Environmental Sustainability Report celebrates our sustainability achievements and acknowledges the challenges we face in reducing our impact on the environment into the future.
