I Edition 2024-2025

Health Footprint: Technology and Sustainability

The Health and Sustainability Action Group will work during its 5th Edition (2023-24) on the Health Footprint: Technology and Sustainability, with the aim of promoting the contribution and opportunities of technological advances in people's health and the health system, highlighting good practices and jointly creating actions and tools that help address this great challenge.

We will do so based on our Health Footprint scheme, taking it a step further and integrating technology into it:

From the perspective of Scope 1, we will address how technology is an added value when it comes to maximizing employee well-being, as well as the challenges it poses.
Scope 2 , how technology can be an ally to offer healthier products and services for customers and consumers.
And in Scope 3 , we will focus on the vital link between technological advances in the healthcare system and their impact on society and sustainability.
