Our priorities

Vizient has a responsibility to model leading environmental, social and governance practices within our own organization. But we have an even greater opportunity to leverage our unique market position to motivate the entire healthcare sector toward greater sustainability, equity and transparency.

In order to move our healthcare system into the future and ensure it serves all of us, Vizient is focusing our energy and effort across the following areas:

People

We are focused on promoting health and advancing equity.
We believe everyone deserves the same opportunity to live a whole and healthy life.

Places

We are investing in communities and building local resilience.
Where we live determines our ability to thrive and survive.

Planet

We are redesigning waste and empowering decarbonization.
Our health depends on the health of the planet.

Strengthening our communities

At Vizient we channel our time and resources through donations, strategic grants and employee volunteerism.
