- Commits to purchasing 100% renewable electricity
El Hospital de Dénia has obtained the certification of the calculation of its Carbon Footprint through AENOR, in a process in which it is verified that the greenhouse gas emissions and absorptions attributable to the activity of the center comply with the provisions of the GHC Protocol standard.
Greenhouse gas emissions cover the earth and retain heat from the sun, a natural phenomenon that is essential for life, because it helps maintain the average temperature on the earth's surface. However, an excess of emissions leads to global warming and climate change, so everyone's awareness and collaboration is essential to avoid it.
With the voluntary application of these standards and by resorting to external verification, Marina Salud shows its commitment to quantify, control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus carry out its activity in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Dénia Hospital has been implementing a series of measures for energy saving since its inception, among which are: installation of LED lighting, internal bioclimate management, weekly and monthly review of electricity, natural gas and medicinal gas meters for Analyze consumption.
In addition, by the end of this year, the Dianense health center has committed to acquiring 100% renewable electrical energy, which will allow it to reduce scope 2 of the carbon footprint to zero and would mean avoiding the emission of 1.701,47 t CO2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hospital will continue to renovate luminaires to reduce its electrical consumption and the associated impact.
Other initiatives have also been launched, such as “Plastic 0”, an action aimed at reducing the use of plastic, or “MarinaSostenible”, a campaign to make professionals aware of responsible energy use; that pretends that, when they finish their working day, they turn off the lighting, the thermostat or the computers.
Thanks to all these measures and the efforts of all the professionals, the environmental impact and the carbon footprint are reduced. "Contributing to keeping the environment in optimal conditions and not damaging it is a commitment of Ribera", they assure from Ribera Salud.
