Sustainability in Healthcare

MATTER gathered experts from Green Innovation Group, Novo Nordisk and Sodexo on Earth Day to discuss the future of healthcare and how it will impact the future of our planet.
In the event, sustainability expert and Green Innovation Group A/S CEO Frederik van Deurs highlights some of the most significant green technological advancements of recent times, the challenges we’re facing as a global society and how health innovation can be leveraged as a powerful tool to achieve global drawdown of greenhouse gases.
Following Frederik’s keynote, we examine how pharmaceutical companies and the healthcare industry at large have a responsibility to reduce their environmental footprint. Novo Nordisk A/S SVP of device R&D Kenneth Strømdahl discusses how their bold ambition for zero carbon emissions set them on a path to work with startups focused on circularity, along with Genecis, the winner of the Novo Nordisk 2020 Innovation Challenge. After, Sodexo VP of Corporate Responsibility Jessica Synkoski discusses the intersection between sustainability and social responsibility in their operations.
