Sustainability Initiatives at Healthpoint

    Introduction

    At Healthpoint Hospital, sustainability is not just a responsibility, it is a commitment embedded in our operations and culture. Our advanced sustainability agenda aligns closely with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCIA) requirements, ensuring that our practices meet the highest global and local standards. Through carefully designed initiatives, we strive to reduce environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and foster a culture of sustainability across our staff, contractors, and wider community.

    Environmental Sustainability

    We are dedicated to minimizing waste and embracing environmentally friendly practices throughout our hospital.

    Initiatives include:

    • Reducing the number of general waste bins in administration and common areas to encourage better waste segregation.
    • Replacing single-use plastic water cups with reusable metallic bottles for staff.
    • Replacing single-use plastic water cups with reusable metallic bottles for staff.
    • Delivering operation theatre uniforms without plastic packaging, significantly cutting down plastic use.
    • Actively promoting recycling of paper, plastics, and other materials across departments.
    • Switching to eco-friendly cleaning chemicals that are safer for both people and the environment.
    • Introducing biodegradable mats in place of plastic mats, supporting environmentally responsible alternatives.

    Energy & Resource Efficiency

    Energy conservation and efficient resource management are at the heart of our sustainability agenda. 

    Initiatives include:

    • Installing LED lighting in newly renovated areas to cut energy use.
    • Upgrading the water heating and cooling system with advanced heat pump technology. Unlike conventional electric heaters, the heat pump captures return heat from the cooling system to sustainably produce hot water. This has resulted in: 
      • 73% reduction in heating and cooling costs.
      • Preventing 64 tons of CO₂ emissions each year (equivalent to removing 14 cars from the road).
      • Improved chiller efficiency and reduced maintenance needs.
    • Reusing condensed water from ESA cooling systems for toilet facilities, maximizing resource efficiency.
    • Earth Hour Participation: Every March, we proudly join millions across the world by switching off non-essential lights during Earth Hour. In 2025, we joined over 180 countries and territories, contributing to a record-breaking three million hours given for the planet. Healthpoint was honored with a Certificate of Recognition from Earth Hour International for this impactful effort.

    Sustainable Procurement & Food Services

    We believe sustainability should extend across our supply chain and patient services:

    • Expanding digital dental services to minimize patient travel, thereby reducing carbon footprint.
    • Encouraging the use of electronic documents to reduce paper consumption.
    • Introducing biodegradable plates in our catering, restaurants, and cafés.
    • Prioritizing locally sourced food to support the community and reduce transportation emissions.
    Staff Engagement, Training & Communications

    Staff Engagement, Training & Communications

    Sustainability at Healthpoint is driven by people. We actively engage, train, and empower our workforce by:

    • Delivering online education sessions on JCIA, GHI, sustainability, and climate change for all clinical and administrative staff.
    • Sharing regular sustainability updates in the monthly staff newsletter.
    • Celebrating Sustainability Day in collaboration with our Facility Management team, engaging staff and contractors on best practices.
    • Inviting staff to submit sustainability proposals for review and implementation, creating a participatory culture.
    • Holding committee meetings dedicated to reviewing, training, and tracking progress on sustainable initiatives.
    • Recognizing outstanding contributions: the Healthpoint Executive Team honors sustainability champions with awards, particularly highlighting success in the dental and facility management departments.

    Green Dentistry at Healthpoint

    Healthpoint’s Dental Department is proud to lead the way in sustainable oral healthcare through our award-winning Green Dentistry Initiative. Recognized by the FDI World Dental Federation with the prestigious Sustainability Award in 2025, this project reflects our commitment to providing exceptional dental care while caring for the planet.

    Our team has adopted innovative practices such as digital dentistry, reusable tools instead of single-use items, responsible recycling and waste management systems, and same-day dental services that help reduce unnecessary travel and carbon emissions. Together, these changes reduce our environmental footprint while ensuring patients continue to receive world-class treatment in a safe and efficient setting.
