WEBINAR - Environmental Criteria and Hospital Procurement: Key Challenges on the Road to 2026

As France’s healthcare system accelerates its ecological transition, environmental criteria are becoming a central pillar of public hospital procurement. From August 2026, the integration of environmental requirements into procurement processes will be mandatory, creating new expectations and challenges for healthcare companies operating in the French market.

To support manufacturers and stakeholders in anticipating these changes, Nextep Health – a ProductLife Group company conducted a dedicated survey to better understand how public buyers approach sustainable procurement, what criteria are being prioritised, and how expectations are likely to evolve in the coming years.

This PLG webinar provides an early look at the survey’s key findings and offers practical insights into how healthcare companies can adapt their strategies, align with procurement requirements, and actively contribute to the ecological transition of the healthcare system.

• The role of procurement policy in supporting the healthcare sector’s ecological transition
• The current level of integration of environmental criteria in public hospital tenders
• Carbon footprint assessment methodologies for medicines and future perspectives
• Public stakeholders’ expectations toward healthcare manufacturers
• Practical recommendations and best practices for sustainable procurement

This session is particularly relevant for healthcare manufacturers seeking to anticipate regulatory changes, strengthen procurement readiness, and align sustainability ambitions with concrete operational requirements.
