The measures for the environment
Among the most significant data on the environmental front, in the report the investment of the Bio-Medical Campus Polyclinic in the energy efficiency stands out: already today almost 57% of the electricity necessary for the structure is self-produced thanks to the use of alternative sources. Furthermore, since 2025, the Polyclinic is expected to use energy produced exclusively from renewable sources. To this are added the results in waste management, with a 31% reduction of mixed packaging and a decisive orientation towards reusable and eco-compatible materials.
The people of the Polyclinic
From the aspect of social sustainability, the budget returns the image of an organization that believes in its own people. In 2024 the staff grew by 4%, reaching 1,775, with a female presence of 61.5% of the total. A fact that confirms the fundamental importance of the role of women in the Polyclinic, even in the apical roles: almost one out of two manager (49.1%) is, in fact, female gender. All this is part of a wider commitment in favor of equality, supported by the Gender Equality Plan and structural initiatives such as corporate asylum, active for the children of employees from 3 months to 6 years old and aimed at promoting working well -being and balance between private and professional life.
Social impact activities
No less relevant are the actions aimed at the community. In particular, the Foundation makes the Open clinics available to citizenship: accredited with the national and operational health service all year round, they allow to carry out specialist visits to thoracic surgery, senology and in the diagnosis of the neoplasms of the colorectal without booking, with the only presentation of the doctor’s commitment.
Then there are the numerous free screening campaigns such as, for example, “October pink”, a month dedicated to the prevention of breast cancer, “March blue” for that of colorectal tumor or “November blue”, aimed at men for checks on the main male pathologies.
The attention of the Bio-Medical Campus Polyclinic to the territory is also manifested with a friend tariff, the private social initiative that allows patients to access visits and diagnostic tests with facilitated rates and reduced waiting times. Only in 2024, the performance in this regime were 141,841, with an increase of 16% on 2023 and 33% on 2022, to confirm further that the need is real and widespread and the Polyclinic Foundation is committed to taking on it. A welfare model capable of keeping together clinical quality and accessibility, with particular attention to the most fragile bands of the population.
The sustainability budget thus becomes a concrete trace on which to base the development process in which it is engaged and reaffirm the identity of a non-profit health institution and inspired by Christian values, capable of looking at the person in all its dimensions, to measure themselves, to progress and, at the same time, to remain faithful to its original vocation, thus becomes for the
“This budget is not only a reporting tool, but a act of transparency and consistency between the values that guide us and the decisions we make every day, ”commented on the President of the Polyclinic University Bio-Medical University Foundation Carlo Tostiwhich then added: “After all, this document tells what we are since our birth: an institution attentive to the dignity of the human being, which aims to maximize the social and environmental impact of its planning and which looks to tomorrow with a spirit of programming and trust. All this derives from a precise idea of sustainability: that assisting others also means taking care of all that exists outside the Polyclinic, with the awareness of having a strong responsibility in the against the ecosystem, society and future generations “.
“The presentation of our first sustainability budget marks a crucial moment in the growth path of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital and its community“, He said The CEO and General Manager of the Paolo Sormani Foundation. “This report is part of our broader consolidation and development strategy, aware of the fundamental importance that the health sector is from the point of view of social and environmental sustainability. In a context in continuous transformation and that has epochal challenges before it – from the process of progressive and inexorable aging of the population to the consequent phenomenon of multicronicity, up to the increasingly pervasive diffusion of artificial intelligence and robotics – I am convinced that our commitment on the social side and ecological transition will help us face the challenges of today and tomorrow with greater effectiveness, with the aim of guaranteeing citizens access to the increasingly wider, fair and quality care “.
Francesco Rocca, president of the Lazio Regionsaid: “The sustainability balance of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital represents a concrete example of how health can and should be the protagonist of the ecological and social transition. In a historical moment in which sustainability means guaranteeing health, equity and future to the next generations, initiatives like this indicate the right direction. The Lazio Region looks with great favor to responsible innovation paths such as that of the Polyclinic, which combine clinical excellence, attention to the environment and personal care in all its dimensions. This is the spirit with which we want to build the health system of the future “.
Marco Mattei, head of cabinet of the Ministry of Healthhe commented: “Sustainability is certainly a structural lever of health planning: it does not only concern the protection of the environment, but affects the organization of services, the ability to innovate the assistance models and the strengthening of prevention policies. In this sense, it is essential to promote a culture of measurement and transparencywith the aim of making the national health service more and more efficient, close to citizens and ready to face the transitions currently underway “.
Ylenja Lucaselli, deputy of the Budget Committee, Treasure and Programminghe noted: “Sustainability in health cannot be addressed in a sectoral way. The experience of Covid has taught us how indispensable an integrated health approach is, capable of relating different knowledge and skills. The work done by the Bio-Medical Campus Polyclinic moves exactly in this direction, demonstrating how it is possible to decline this principle in a concrete way and consistent with the challenges of our time. Budget and with the One Health parliamentary intergroup. create the conditions for experiences such as this to multiply and become a tool for programming, responsibility and growth for the entire health system “.
Valeria Brambilla, CEO of Deloitte & Touchehe observed: “The Health Care sector is intrinsically connected to sustainable development, with particular reference to the ability of health and hospital structures to generate social impact thanks to the services offered and attention to personal care. In this sense, Non -financial reporting represents a key element in the path of continuous improvement of performance, in favor of the community. The European Union today makes the right tools available to us to communicate in a clear, transparent and comparable way this information, which must increasingly constitute an integral part not only of the reporting of organizations, but also and above all of their strategic plans “.
Chiara Cadeddu, Theme Chair of Planetary Health of the Arasmus School of Health Policy & Management University of Rotterdamsaid: “It is essential to recognize the paradox that afflicts the health sector: if we do not take decisive actions to decarbonize this sector, We will face direct consequences that will impact public health. The increase in pathologies and hospitals due to the triple planetary – climatic crisis, biodiversity and pollution – represents a challenge that we must face urgently and determination. Only through a collective commitment can we guarantee a sustainable future for the health of the planet and the generations present and future “.
Lorenzo Sommella, head of the Green Hospital project of the Polyclinic University Bio-Medical University Foundationhe explained: “Environmental sustainability in health can no longer be considered a niche theme. So far we have proceeded with virtuous initiatives of individual healthcare companies, including our foundation, due to the lack of a policy at national level. Attention to the surrounding environment extends the chain of the value of the health processesupstream with the Green Procurement and the circular economy and to the valley with the reduction of Carbon Footprint. Only the commitment for everyone to draw up a green plan, with clear and effective actions, however, will really make the difference “.
