Women’s College Hospital, a PPP facility in BBGI’s portfolio, was recognised by Greening Health Care for achieving over 5% energy use reduction compared to 2020 levels. This milestone reflects the hospital’s strategic focus on climate resilience, resource efficiency, and environmental performance.

Approach

• Participation in benchmarking programme: The hospital is an active member of Greening Health Care, a network of leading hospitals, healthcare groups and other organizations across North America working together to achieve deep energy and greenhouse gas emissions reductions in healthcare facilities.
• Targeted action: Since 2020, the hospital has implemented energy conservation measures including an LED retrofit and HVAC and lighting setbacks for after hours and weekends to reduce its energy footprint.
• Recognition and results: In June 2025, the hospital was recognised with the 5 Per Cent Club Award.

Impact

• Energy savings: A measurable decline in total energy consumption strengthens the sustainability profile of the asset.
• Climate alignment: The achievement aligns with broader decarbonisation goals across BBGI’s portfolio.
• Peer leadership: The hospital serves as a best practice reference point for other facilities within the programme.

We’re proud to see this asset receive external recognition for its sustainability performance — the result of strong operational focus and committed partners.
