Our priorities
Vizient has a responsibility to model leading environmental, social and governance practices within our own organization. But we have an even greater opportunity to leverage our unique market position to motivate the entire healthcare sector toward greater sustainability, equity and transparency.
In order to move our healthcare system into the future and ensure it serves all of us, Vizient is focusing our energy and effort across the following areas:
People
Healthcare is about people. Everyone — no matter who you are, where you live, or how much you make — deserves the same opportunity to live a whole and healthy life.
Vizient’s responsibility
- Promote health
- Advance equity
Places
Where we live matters. It determines our ability to thrive — to access food, healthcare, education, job opportunities, safe water and clean air. And it determines our ability to survive — to weather intense change and navigate disruption.
Vizient’s responsibility
- Invest in communities
- Improve resilience
Planet
Our health depends on the health of the planet. From microplastics in our organs to pollution-induced asthma, our decisions have consequences. But as a sector, we can make healthier ones.
Vizient’s responsibility
- Redesign waste
- Empower decarbonization
