Fundació Sanitària Mollet (FSM), a CATALYSE collaborator, has been honored with the Healthy Futures Award as part of the European Sustainable Healthcare Awards 2024, an initiative by Health Care Without Harm Europe. This award recognizes the groundbreaking project, Mollet University Hospital: A Net Zero Centre in Direct Emissions, which marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a sustainable, net zero healthcare system.

The Healthy Futures Award celebrates European healthcare sustainability projects that make significant strides towards a net zero and toxic-free future by dramatically reducing CO₂e emissions. Mollet University Hospital achieved a remarkable 91% reduction in direct CO₂ emissions over the past 12 years, successfully reaching its goal of zero direct emissions by 2023. The hospital is now setting its sights on achieving total NetZero emissions, including indirect emissions, by 2040.

FSM staff were stakeholders in the co-creation of a Theory of Change to decarbonize healthcare in Catalonia, Spain, a project led by Dr. Olena Zotova. The project’s primary focus was on gathering insights from a diverse group of stakeholders, to understand the social, political, and logistical processes necessary to achieve a “net zero” healthcare system in Catalonia.
