The 2016-2019 Charter for Sustainable Development
“The needs of current generations must be met, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs”
The Ambroise Paré, Pierre Cherest and Hartmann clinics are committed to sustainable development. Like all healthcare facilities, the clinics consume energy, produce waste and are a source of environmental risks.
It is in this spirit that we have formulated this sustainable development charter to establish principles and goals for the years to come.
Our charter addresses five main priorities
Societal
- Maximize the value of our human resources through training, mutual respect and considering the needs of staff members.
- Improve the quality of life of employees and physicians through listening and dialogue.
Economic-Environmental
- Develop an ecologically responsible relationship with our providers by engaging in responsible purchasing.
- Follow waste sorting guidelines.
-
Performing an energy use audit.
