Die MKK - My health insurance: pioneer for sustainability in healthcare

Düsseldorf, August 28, 2024 - On November 28, 2024, the 17th German Sustainability Award will be awarded in Düsseldorf, which is considered the most important and most trustworthy price of its kind in Europe. Among the nominees is the MKK - my health insurance company, which has become special recognition in the sustainability category. This event shows us how important the health industry can make a contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.

The MKK, founded in 1993 and under the direction of Andrea Galle, has a great responsibility. With over 550,000 customers and over 1,200 employees at more than 30 locations across Germany, it is one of the 30 largest health insurance companies. Galle emphasizes that "healthy people can only exist in a healthy environment", which underlines the drastic effects of climate change on human health.

The healthcare system is one of the largest issuers of CO2 emissions that make up around five percent of total emissions. At the same time, the sector is particularly affected by health challenges, which are reinforced by climate change, such as cardiovascular diseases and allergies. These challenges are not only a nature of health, but also have deeper social effects that influence the life and quality of life of people.

The finalist status of the MKK shows that the way to achieve more sustainable health care is not only possible, but also necessary. The health insurance company motivates the award by an expert jury to promote its sustainable initiatives and investments in the health of health. This is an important message to the entire industry - that sustainability and health should go hand in hand.

The award on November 28 should not only inspire the MKK, but also the entire healthcare system, to promote sustainable concepts. At a time when the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable, it is crucial that companies and institutions offer innovative solutions that integrate both economic, ecological and social responsibility.

The MKK not only remains an important player in the healthcare system, but also becomes a model for other companies that face the challenge of sustainability. Interested parties can find more information about the MKK on the website www.meine-krankenkasse.de . These engagements show how companies can support change towards a more sustainable society - for the benefit of everyone.
