Sustainability reporting and management University Hospital Basel

ecos has been supporting the University Hospital Basel (USB) since 2019 in setting up systematic sustainability management, which includes its sustainability reporting.

Client: University Hospital Basel
Project period: 2019-today

This includes the sustainability strategy (2019/2020) and the GRI environmental report (2019) and GRI sustainability report (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024).
A materiality analysis in accordance with GRI formed the basis for the development of sustainability reporting in 2019. In collaboration with a USB project team, the key topics for environmental reporting were first defined. Building on this, an environmental mission statement was developed in several workshops with representative groups of the University Hospital’s staff, which sets out the USB’s vision with regard to environmental protection and formulates the relevant core elements and statements. Based on this, the first environmental report was drawn up for 2019 and a strategy for environmental protection was developed. For 2020, the environmental report was expanded to include the social dimension to create a sustainability report, including a materiality analysis for the social issues.
The sustainability report is now published annually, while the sustainability strategy and management in the environmental and social dimensions are being further developed and systematized in parallel. In this process, ecos acts as a sparring partner.
