SPHS @ UN Global Supplier Meeting, Nov 2015, Copenhagen, Denmark

The informal Interagency Task Team on Sustainable Procurement in the Health Sector (SPHS)

WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA traditionally organize annual meetings with suppliers and manufacturers of medical products, known as the UN Global Supplier Meeting. In collaboration with UNEP, UNFPA and the SPHS Secretariat, UNDP organized two capacity building sessions on water and energy at the 2015 annual meeting which gathered over 400 companies from around the world. Suppliers and manufacturers shared their opinion about what are the key challenges and opportunities related to greening their supply chains. Putting the focus on energy and water, they discussed with keynote speakers and organizers, which are the benefits of green production and green products, and concrete steps of implementation. A green site visit was organized to Herlev Hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark. Participating suppliers and manufacturers expressed great interest and positive feedback on the visit, as the practice can be applied to their own facilities.
