MD H2E and MD HCSLC recognized in national report
Posted by Carrie Flora on Monday, June 2nd 2014
Environmental Leader included MD H2E as one of 104 industry experts sharing valuable information regarding environmental, energy and sustainability programs. The website offers online green business and corporate sustainability news, and recently published the fourth edition of its Insider Knowledge Report. To read more about the report, or download it from the EL website, click HERE. MD H2E can be found on page 25.
According to EL, “Those that ultimately were included were those we think provide the best lessons, advice and examples from which other companies and executives can learn.”
MD H2E is proud to say we were included in the report, alongside names such as Canon, General Mills, DuPont, Anheuser-Busch, TD Bank, Symantec, U-Haul, Staples and more. But, this work is nothing without the forward-thinking stewardship that defines our hospitals.
MD H2E would like to thank the Maryland Healthcare Sustainability Leadership Council: Charlotte Wallace (2013 Chair), Mike Forthman (Current Chair), Rachel DeMunda (Current Vice-Chair) and the entire membership of the MD HCSLC for participation in the programs and survey referenced in the article.
