Measuring sustainable healthcare
Thursday 13 of November at 2-4 PM
At Sjöbergska Huset, Humlegatan 4, Malmö
We’re excited to introduce a new Benchmarking Tool and Dashboard for Sustainable Kidney Care - a first-of-its-kind platform that measures not just environmental impact, but also health outcomes, social impact, and cost across kidney care centres and treatment modalities. It highlights hotspots, tracks progress over time, and enables anonymous benchmarking to drive real change.
Still under development, this tool as part of the European Horizon Project KitNewCare will combine robust technical development with practical functionality. We will also present the technical solution - designed to be further developed, scaled up, and potentially reused in other areas beyond kidney care. Join us as we discuss its role in the overall project, showcase its features and explore how it can shape the future of sustainable kidney care.
The event is hosted by Sjöbergska and 040 in partnership with The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (UK) and Trinity College Dublin.
Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare
This is a side event to the 7th Nordic Conference on Sustainable Healthcare that is arranged by Nordic center for Sustainable Healtcare.
The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare (CSH)
CSH has been leading efforts to incorporate the values of environmental sustainability into the health sector since its establishment in 2008, helping to meet the UK Climate Change Act target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Ingeborg Steinbach has worked for CSH since 2008 supporting healthcare organisations and professionals in embedding sustainability in day-to-day practice. Ingeborg leads work package 5 of European Horizon’s KitNewCare project. The work package focusses on the development of the benchmarking tool and dashboard and best practice guidance for sustainable kidney care.

Pija Sundin, Project Manager at 040, will present the tech stack behind the benchmarking tool - a platform designed for easy scalability and adaptation, not only within kidney care but across wider healthcare domains. Jens Grip, Founder and CEO of Sjöbergska, will share why the group is investing in this initiative — both from a business perspective and a broader societal standpoint.
About KitNewCare
KitNewCare is a pioneering EU co-funded project to make kidney healthcare more environmentally sustainable. Recognising healthcare’s role in global carbon emissions (5-11%), the project focuses on kidney care, an area with significant disease burden and resource footprint, as a model for systemic sustainability change.
