Kaiser Permanente is now the first U.S. healthcare system to complete a fully verified GHG emissions inventory – The Climate Registry

TCR Public Reports – The Climate Registry – Kaiser Permanente is now the first U.S. healthcare system to complete a fully verified GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions inventory. Anyone can view the full 2010 report at The Climate Registry’s website: www.tcrreports.org Our emissions hotspots are mainly caused by building energy use (91% of our carbon footprint) and the use of anesthetic gases (5% of our carbon footprint). These calculations do not yet include most of our Scope 3 emissions (primarily caused by employee commuting, member trips, and embodied carbon in purchased products and services).

I just realized in the post I just wrote that I have not blogged this news yet. As the subject says, just click on the link above and do a search under “Kaiser Permanente”.
