The The Impact of Laudato si' on Hospital Sustainability Strategies
The The Impact of Laudato si' on Hospital Sustainability Strategies

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The goal of this article is twofold: to compare Laudato si' Integral Ecological models to secular Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) models, and to assess the outcomes of the implementation of Laudato si' ecological models in hospitals. RESEARCH RESULTS: The article argues that Laudato si' and the subsequent Laudato si' Action Platform (LSAP) have contributed to the theory of ecology and transitioned hospitals. Empirical evidence of the implementation of Integral Ecology models rooted in Laudato si' remains rare and rather inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The article shows that hospitals' pro-ecological strategies and initiatives do not attract adequate researchers' attention despite their environmental harm.
