HealthTrust Performance Group is hosting a Connect Show, an event enabling healthcare leaders to learn more about sustainability in healthcare through conversation, panels, and connection with vendors. Key Green Solutions is honored to have been invited to participate in this event, and to present information about how healthcare can continue internal innovation and community improvement through better sustainability practices.

Key Green’s Relationship Manager, Jeff Burks, will be sitting at the table on October 25 answering the industry’s leading questions concerning data collection, and what has and has not worked for healthcare systems across the United States. Jeff will speak about how data can be utilized and shifted to provide a baseline of truth when adapted from otherwise scattered formats; the first real step in making a positive impact on the healthcare sector.

Key Green Solutions Celebrates Earth Day

Key Green Solutions Team volunteers with Kent Conservation District in celebration of Earth Day

Happy Earth Day Week! Why limit action to Monday? There are endless opportunities to express appreciation and love for our beautiful planet every single day.

This past Saturday the Key Green Solutions team volunteered with Kent Conservation District in support of the Homegrown National Park Movement. This event involved selling and giving bare root plants native to Michigan. The event encourages the community to take the seedlings home to be planted on the same day, with the ultimate goal of helping individuals join the movement to restore biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Key Green Solutions customers understand the importance of making every day Earth Day, no matter how small the impact may initially seem. The little steps count on the path to a more sustainable community. If your facility is interested in gaining a better understanding of its daily energy use, water consumption, purchasing patterns, nutritional purchasing habits, greenhouse gas emissions, or waste disposal, please reach out to Relationship Manager Jeff Burks for an easy, free, and quick consultation.

Key Green Solutions Saves Almost $1,000,000 for New Customer

When organizations become customers of Key Green Solutions, they work closely with our implementation team to make sure all vendors and data is accounted for. Last year, Implementation Manager Tim Schuitema did the same for a mid-sized customer and found severe discrepancies in their billing.

Tim stated, “Last November, I was assisting in a Request for Proposal for a mid-sized organization. While compiling a 12-month hazardous waste analysis, our team noticed their spend seemed much higher than what we would normally expect. After investigation into the discrepancy, we found that not only were there errors in the reporting their hazardous waste vendor had provided, but that they were also double billed.“

After the Key Green Solutions team evaluated the 12 months’ worth of invoices line item by line item to find any further latent billing errors, Tim was able to report back to the client with shocking and bad– yet ultimately great– news. “We told the customer what we had found to be multiple alleged billing errors, and they went back to their hazardous waste vendor for clarification. Thank to Key Green Solutions‘ implementation team, our customer was credited over $990,000 for the hazardous waste billing errors.”

Success stories such as this are why clients rely on Key Green Solutions to track and report their data. Our team investigates the numbers and reaches out to vendors to unravel any undiscovered reporting errors.
