Implementation of Green Health Care in Realizing Environmental Social Governance (ESG) in Health Services (Case Study at PHC Hospital Surabaya)

In the era of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, the implementation of the Environmental Social Governance (ESG) concept is becoming increasingly important for healthcare institutions, including hospitals. Hospitals have a significant impact on the environment through energy consumption, large water use, and medical waste generated. Therefore, the implementation of Green Healthcare (GHC) principles as part of the ESG framework is a strategic solution to reduce these ecological impacts while improving public health and social sustainability. This research focuses on a case study of the implementation of GHC at PHC Hospital Surabaya which involves a coastal reforestation program as an effort to conserve the environment and improve the quality of life of the surrounding community. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to gain a deep understanding of the implementation process, challenges, and outcomes of the reforestation program. The results show that the success of the program is greatly influenced by internal and external policy support, resource readiness, and effective communication between stakeholders. The coastal greening program not only improves air quality and the environmental conditions around the hospital, but also raises public awareness regarding the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable health. The implementation of GHC at PHC Hospital Surabaya shows that environmentally friendly practices such as safe medical waste management, water conservation, the use of renewable energy sources, and planting green vegetation can support the sustainability of hospital operations. In addition to the ecological aspect, this program also strengthens the social aspect by improving the comfort and quality of life of the surrounding community and building a positive image of the institution. The application of ESG principles through GHC creates a hospital ecosystem that is not only focused on medical services, but also as an agent of social change and environmental conservation that can provide long-term benefits. In conclusion, the integration of GHC and ESG in hospitals is a strategic step that can improve operational efficiency and sustainability, strengthen social positions, and raise awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability in the healthcare sector. The success of the case study at PHC Hospital Surabaya is the best model in integrating environmental and social aspects in healthcare services, and makes a positive contribution to sustainable development.

Abstract

In the era of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, the implementation of the Environmental Social Governance (ESG) concept is becoming increasingly important for healthcare institutions, including hospitals. Hospitals have a significant impact on the environment through energy consumption, large water use, and medical waste generated. Therefore, the implementation of Green Healthcare (GHC) principles as part of the ESG framework is a strategic solution to reduce these ecological impacts while improving public health and social sustainability. This research focuses on a case study of the implementation of GHC at PHC Hospital Surabaya which involves a coastal reforestation program as an effort to conserve the environment and improve the quality of life of the surrounding community. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to gain a deep understanding of the implementation process, challenges, and outcomes of the reforestation program. The results show that the success of the program is greatly influenced by internal and external policy support, resource readiness, and effective communication between stakeholders. The coastal greening program not only improves air quality and the environmental conditions around the hospital, but also raises public awareness regarding the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable health. The implementation of GHC at PHC Hospital Surabaya shows that environmentally friendly practices such as safe medical waste management, water conservation, the use of renewable energy sources, and planting green vegetation can support the sustainability of hospital operations. In addition to the ecological aspect, this program also strengthens the social aspect by improving the comfort and quality of life of the surrounding community and building a positive image of the institution. The application of ESG principles through GHC creates a hospital ecosystem that is not only focused on medical services, but also as an agent of social change and environmental conservation that can provide long-term benefits. In conclusion, the integration of GHC and ESG in hospitals is a strategic step that can improve operational efficiency and sustainability, strengthen social positions, and raise awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability in the healthcare sector. The success of the case study at PHC Hospital Surabaya is the best model in integrating environmental and social aspects in healthcare services, and makes a positive contribution to sustainable development.
