On 29 May, MEDICA was awarded the Sustainable Development Trophy in the "environmental initiatives - energy, buildings, water" category, at the sustainable development forum held during the Salon de la Santé et de l'Autonomie (Health and Independence Trade Show) at the Porte de Versailles, Paris.

The MEDICA Group was awarded the Trophy in a tie with the Centre Hospitalier Régional in Orléans and the Institut Saint Pierre in Palavas Les Flots.

Awarded by a jury made up of hospital sector staff and representatives from hospital federations to healthcare establishments which have taken significant sustainable development initiatives, this Trophy recognises the action taken by MEDICA in early 2012 to reduce energy consumption at its facilities.

MEDICA's project involved the installation of sensors in its facilities to measure the volume of gas, water and electricity consumed, as well as CO2 emissions.

This project was undertaken throughout 2012, with the assistance of experts from the EDF subsidiary, NetSeenergy, and has enabled 140 of the group's facilities to be fitted out at end-December 2012 (i.e. almost all of MEDICA's long-term care facilities in France).

Installation of these sensors throughout the group's facilities will enable comprehensive control of its ecological footprint and energy consumption. MEDICA expects to see a 10-15% saving once the system has been installed in all the group's facilities.
