Hospitals · clinics · care operators
All the rigour of Applied Sustainability for Business, adapted to healthcare operations, roles and reporting realities. Built with one clear use case in mind: getting your institution ready for the Joint Commission's sustainability certifications, with a team that actually understands the work behind them.
Why healthcare, why now
Healthcare runs resource-intensive operations every hour of the year — and faces growing expectations from regulators, payers and communities to show measurable progress.
Energy, water and supplies run 24/7. Small operational improvements compound into significant savings — when teams know where to look.
From single-use supplies to facility waste streams, healthcare procurement decisions carry real environmental weight — and real cost.
Health systems are increasingly asked to measure and report sustainability performance. Trained teams make that routine instead of a scramble.
The use case
Both certification paths ask your institution to measure, plan and govern — work that depends on people who understand greenhouse gases, energy, waste and reporting. That's exactly what this program trains.
The Joint Commission's voluntary certification for US hospitals and critical access hospitals. At review, institutions need baseline emissions data for three greenhouse-gas sources and an action plan to reduce them — across categories like buildings & energy, transportation, anesthetic gases & inhalers, and waste. Certification runs on a two-year cycle.
Joint Commission International's certification for hospitals worldwide, developed with the IHF Geneva Sustainability Centre. It requires tracking performance against 19 of 23 core indicators — including measuring Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse-gas emissions.
Baseline & measurement
Greenhouse-gas literacy so your team can own emissions data instead of outsourcing the understanding.
Reduction categories
Energy, waste, water and transportation — the operational areas where reduction plans actually happen.
Leadership & governance
Oversight structures, stakeholder communication and the reporting discipline reviewers expect to see.
Green My Experience provides independent training and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of The Joint Commission or Joint Commission International. Certification is awarded by those organizations directly — our role is preparing your team for the work it requires.

No. The Sustainable Healthcare Certification (US) and the Healthcare Sustainability Certification (international) are awarded by The Joint Commission and Joint Commission International respectively, through their own review processes. What this program does is prepare your team for the work those reviews assess — emissions baselining, reduction planning across operational categories, and governance — so the certification effort can be staffed and sustained internally rather than outsourced to consultants each cycle. Green My Experience is an independent training provider with no affiliation to either organization.
Entirely online and self-paced, like all our programs. Your team works around clinical and operational schedules — there are no fixed session dates, and progress doesn't depend on pulling staff off the floor at the same time.
Pricing is per team member — $490 — with volume discounts that apply automatically as seats are added, down to roughly $220 per team member at scale. One checkout covers the team; you assign seats internally. Invoicing is available for larger rollouts (50+ seats).
The program is role-based. Facilities and operations teams get depth on energy, water and waste; administration and procurement on purchasing and supplier decisions; clinical team leads on day-to-day practice; and sustainability or ESG leads on strategy, governance and reporting. A certification effort typically draws on all four.
The healthcare edition launches July 6, 2026. Early-access teams get enrollment details first. Teams that want to start now can begin with Applied Sustainability for Business — it’s the foundation the healthcare edition builds on, so nothing is wasted.
Yes. Like all our programs, the healthcare edition is planned in English and Spanish, with the same content and certification in both.
Tell us your team size and goals — early-access teams help shape the final curriculum, and get enrollment details before the July 6 launch.
