Aware that healthcare activities significantly contribute to the environmental impacts of the institution, the HUG have set various objectives in their sustainability strategy to make medical and nursing practices more sustainable. 

To lead and support this transformation, a position of Ecological Transition Manager in Healthcare was created at the end of 2022 under the impetus of the Nursing Directorate, with the support of the Medical Directorate. Its mission is to ensure support and assistance for changing practices, training healthcare professionals in these new challenges, and encouraging research in this field, particularly among paramedical staff. 

At present, such a position remains unique within Swiss hospitals.
