The Sustainable Healthcare PodcastShow Notes
During the summer, we're revisiting our four greatest hits and most enjoyed podcasts in a Best of 2022 series.
The first episode is episode 025 - Materiality Assessment – How to Move the Sustainability Needle: How can you move the needle in a sustainability transformation? That question are we trying to answer today. Frederik van Deurs and Joachim Almdal is back in the studio and sharing - in-depth – about their own work when actually working with major pharma & MedTech companies on improving their sustainability profile.
This is a very tactical episode where we talk about what a materiality assessment is, how to do one and we’re talking about Madonna.
Enjoy!
