Environmental Sustainability at St John of God Hospital Murdoch
Environmental stewardship is a key component of our hospital’s strategic and operational planning and environmental sustainability is part of our daily business operations. Through a range of activities we are limiting our impact on the environment.
Environmental Management Committee
Our Manager Environmental Sustainability chairs the Environmental Management Committee (EMC) that involves managers from key areas within the hospital. This committee meets monthly to discuss Key Performance Indicator data, implementation of the environmental action plan, and any other relevant issue.
Environmental Action Plan
Each year we develop an Environmental Action Plan that guides the implementation of activities to meet our sustainability objectives. The
plan covers a diverse range of goals, such as ensuring legislative compliance, sustainable facilities management, education, caregiver involvement, audit and review, and leadership commitment. We report our progress and achievements to the Environmental Management Committee and the Hospital Management Committee.
Key Performance Indicators
We collect energy, water and waste data which are reported quarterly as Key Performance Indicators (KPI). These KPIs are discussed
by the Hospital Management Committee, and posted on the environmental notice board located on the lower ground floor lift lobby area for all caregivers to view. This data is also submitted to St John of God Health Care for comparison with all divisions.
