Renji Hospital enters Low Carbon Ecosystem, will host anniversary event featuring Norway-in-a-box and DNV GL

On May 13th, Renji Hospital will celebrate the 175th anniversary of the hospital’s founding, while also commemorating 65 years of diplomatic ties between China and Norway. Featured at the event will be celebrations of Norwegian culture, including the first traceable salmon in China with Norway-in-a-Box.

As one of the oldest and most prestigious hospitals in China, Renji’s addition to the Low Carbon Ecosystem is a valuable one. Renji, partnered with Shanghai’s Jiaotong University, is consistently ranked as one of the top hospitals in the entire country. Established in 1844 with the help of the London Church, Renji Hospital will give priority to low carbon users when providing their distinguished medical services. In a country where quality medical care is in incredibly high demand, adding benefits like these will encourage more users to enter the ecosystem.

Renji’s inclusion is particularly remarkable because it indicates a commitment to global sustainability and social responsibility. Weeks after Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that their country must focus on green initiatives, the signs are in place that more and more corporations will prioritize protecting the environment. The Low Carbon Ecosystem provides the perfect solution by incentivizing consumers and rewarding corporations, allowing the industrialized country to shift towards a cleaner future.
