You can now watch the LinkedIn Live session ‘How can we team up to reduce healthcare’s environmental impact?’ that Robert Metzke, Global Head of Sustainability at Philips and Olesya Struk, Senior Director Group Sustainability at Philips, hosted live on LinkedIn on Tuesday, October 13.

Throughout the lively session, Robert and Olesya discussed how technology companies, care providers and other organizations can team up to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare. They did this by sharing valuable insights and examples from their daily practice before ending with an audience Q&A.

Few people realize that the world’s healthcare systems account for 4% of global CO2 emissions.
