German Hospital Federation– Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft
As a federal association, the German Hospital Federation (DKG) represents 28 member associations of hospital operators: 16 regional associations, 12 central associations. With this diversity, the German Hospital Federation represents all hospital interests in the country (private and public).
The DKG supports hospitals in federal policy. As the umbrella organisation of hospital operators, it defends the interests and concerns of hospitals. As the voice of hospitals, the DKG represents hospitals in all health policy decisions, which is why the careful analysis of current health policy and public relations in the field of sustainability is part of the tasks of the German Hospital Federation.

Charité University Hospital
La Charité is one of the most renowned university hospitals in Berlin. Organized around 17 Centers and 100 clinics and institutes, this University Hospital is a pioneer on the subject of sustainable development: its dedicated management department was created in 1989. Due to its wide range of services, Charité generates a waste volume of about 10,000 tons per year. Of this total, only about 2% is hazardous waste such as cytostatics, infectious waste and chemicals. More than 65 different waste fractions are collected separately and most of them are recycled. This implies a strong mobilization of staff, which takes many forms on a daily basis: training, communication...

KLIK Green federal program
Hospitals and rehabilitation clinics are resource-intensive consumers and can at the same time make a significant contribution to climate protection. The objective of the federal KLIK green program is to avoid the emission of at least100,000 tons of CO2 equivalent during the duration of the project.
Since it began in 2015, 250 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics across Germany have participated in the project. In the institutions involved, skilled workers are trained as «climate managers» in order to set specific climate protection objectives for the institutions and to plan and implement measures. The project organises the training of climate managers, workshops and professional exchange. The team accompanies climate leaders, contacts them, supports them and motivates them. As a result, KLIK green strengthens the transversal management of climate protection and offers a long-term exchange between climate managers via the KLIK network.

Evangelist Hubertus Hospital
Since 2000, Hubertus Evangelical Hospital has been optimising the hospital's energy supply through an energy-saving contract with SPIE Energy Solutions. Initially, heating systems were modernised and CO2 emissions were reduced by more than 50%. The hospital's energy consumption fell by more than 30% between 2000 and 2001, and annual CO2 emissions decreased by 2,600 tonnes or 37%. In recognition of this commitment, Hubertus Evangelical Hospital was awarded the BUND Energy-Saving Hospital label for the first time in 2001. The project also received the «Contracting Award» from Energie & Management magazine in 2002.

The Dutch Hospital Association (NVZ) defends care. The NVZ has represented the interests of Dutch general hospitals, rehabilitation centres and long-term care facilities for 30 years. The NVZ aims to ensure the the future provision of healthcare has a broader social perspective because: the need for care is changing; society's expectations and medical opportunities are growing rapidly; increasingly improved quality is required and must be provided; professionals and budgets are limited. The sustainability of Dutch hospitals is at the heart of NVZ's vision.

Isala Hospital Center
Isala has built the most beautiful hospital in the Netherlands, which opened at the end of 2021. The architects' approach was to design a better home for patients and staff instead of a hospital. The organic architectural style and green environment should speed up the healing process of patients. It was decided to build a large hospital that looks small because of the different butterfly-shaped buildings. Organic forms associated with the green landscape have a positive effect on employees, visitors and patients.

As part of a national «green deal», a specific agreement has been signed for the Dutch health sector: the Green Deal: Sustainable Care for a Healthy Future. This agreement focuses on the contribution that the healthcare sector can make to improving the environment, i.e. reducing carbon dioxide emissions and stimulating a circular economy. This also means creating a caring environment that invites patients, professionals and visitors to behave in a healthy way. Efforts are also being made to reduce pharmaceutical residues in surface water and groundwater.
