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.
Our efforts have been recognised through a range of regional and international accolades, reflecting our progress in advancing sustainable healthcare.
