Environmental Management For Sustainable Development 2
Introduction
Guy’s and St Thomas is London’s most famous teaching hospitals that provide patients excellent
care and treatment from two central London sites near London Bridge and Waterloo. They
provide hospital services to local communities. They have integrated community services in
Southwark and Lambeth into the trust (Sills, 2019).
They also provide specialist services to patients from further afield, including kidney, cardiac,
cancer, women’s and orthopedics services. They are also known as a home of Evelina London
Children’s Hospital (Dodds, 2018). This hospital has well-established multi-award winning
sustainability program like a driver of efficiency, enhancing quality, reducing waste, and is a
clear leader in the NHS.
This organization has the aim to lead the sector of healthcare over the next few years. This will
also work with others to encourage a wider consistency in delivering sustainable healthcare.
Regulations and policies regarding sustainability following have been covered in the following
discussion.
Sustainability following regulations and policies
This program of sustainability contributes to the wider trust community. This support such
measures such as improved local quality of air, local procurement, and local employment.
Environment
According to the Intergovernmental panel on climate change as the world is getting warmer.
Global warming is a consequence of climate change caused by activities of human such as
burning fossil fuels (Saleh, 2014). This organization is committed to reducing the emissions of

carbon in its operations and encouraging users to use the mode of sustainable transport that will
reduce the traffic congestion and emissions of carbon for improving the quality of air.
To improve the quality of air, reduce costs and harm, the organization has begun a program to
promote the cleaner air that involves:
Monitoring pollutants and quality of air (Specifically PM2.5)
By reducing the sources of pollutions on-site through staff empowerment, driver training, and
requirements of the stringent contractor. By advising the susceptible patients to introduce their
exposure to air pollutants.
Helping to establish an arrangement to inspire the uptake of electric vehicles by installing
rechargeable sockets at Guy’s and St Thomas Hospitals.
This organization is committed to improving the quality of air, mitigating change of climate,
minimizing of pollution, and the associated adverse effects of health.
Environmental considerations
Services provided by the organization aim to promote health. Emissions of the vehicle should be
eliminated or minimized.
Energy
The organization combined power and heat engines generate both heat and electricity both at
hospitals (Race, Environment Consideration at Hospital). This generates half of the needs of
energy, reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, and saves the cost of energy.
