Developing a Sustainability Strategy for a Municipal Hospital
Sustainability
A good sustainability strategy is measured by how effectively it’s implemented. Prioritizing through a materiality analysis, setting up digitally connected operational structures, and clearly defined roles are key to success.
The Assignment
In a three-month project, we worked closely with hospital leadership and selected departments to co-create a sustainability strategy. A robust materiality analysis helped prioritize ESG topics and translate them into actionable measures – with a focus on impact and real-world feasibility.
Our Approach
1. Initial Assessment
Status quo analysis based on ESG criteria and sector benchmarks.
2. Stakeholder Engagement & Materiality Analysis
Interviews with key personnel and a full materiality analysis to prioritize sustainability topics from internal and external perspectives.
3. Strategy Workshops
Deriving strategic goals and areas of action through collaborative workshop formats.
4. Action Planning
Development of a roadmap with 30+ measures, quick wins, and an internal governance model for long-term implementation.
The Result
Six key areas of action were defined, along with strategic goals and over 30 concrete measures, structured into quarterly milestones using OKRs. Internal sustainability competencies were strengthened, a steering committee was established, and implementation began during the project. Organizational maturity in sustainability increased by 22%.
