Cardinal Health sets new benchmark in sustainability

In an era where sustainability has become a corporate buzzword, Jane Crowe, Managing Director of Cardinal Health ANZ, is pushing for real action.

In this Health Industry Hub podcast, she dissected the government’s climate commitments, the medtech industry’s sustainability roadblocks, and why Australia is at the heart of Cardinal Health’s next big move.

Last August, Assistant Health Minister Ged Kearney established an advisory group to address the health impacts of climate change, following the release of the National Health and Climate Strategy. But has it driven meaningful change, or is it yet another government talkfest?

Cardinal Health is making a game-changing move: its first remanufacturing facility outside the U.S. will be in Newcastle. But why Australia, and why now?

As a key member of the MTAA Sustainability Forum, Crowe is on the frontline of medtech’s sustainability challenges. The industry’s carbon footprint is massive, but slashing emissions isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. Supply chain complexities, regulatory hurdles, and reporting challenges all play a role in slowing progress.

With an election looming, Crowe didn’t hold back on what she wants from policymakers. She outlined a vision for a more climate-conscious future – one where sustainability isn’t an afterthought but a core business imperative.
