For healthcare, getting to shared definitions and standards for what sustainability means will determine how the industry meets its sustainability targets. Guest Toby Cobbledick dives into the aspects of sustainability, more specifically environmental and social effects of products like single-use surgical gloves. The industry needs to speak the same language in terms of measuring and sharing data in the same way, and using it to get a complete understanding of how healthcare impacts the environment.
