Our Sustainability Efforts

At NUH, we are committed to achieving a 60% recycling rate by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2045.  

We believe that caring for our patients and caring for the planet must go hand in hand. That’s why we’re constantly exploring innovative ways to achieve both. 

Our patients and community are at the heart of our sustainability efforts. Every staff member, patient, retail tenant, and volunteer plays a vital role. Together, we aim to foster a mindset shift towards more sustainable healthcare, creating a greener future for all and leaving a healthier planet for generations to come. 

NUH is the first hospital in the world to receive the Healthcare Sustainability Certification, a landmark recognition awarded by the Joint Commission International (JCI) in collaboration with the International Hospital Federation’s Geneva Sustainability Centre (GSC). 

This certification follows a rigorous assessment using the GSC’s Sustainability Accelerator Tool (SAT), which benchmarks sustainability maturity across environmental impact, health equity, and governance. It stands as a testament to our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.
