Bold climate action for the health of our community

Because our health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked.

Building sustainable solutions for better health

At Blue Cross, we know our environments have significant implications on our health and quality of life and believe that at its heart, the climate crisis is a public health crisis.  As the state’s largest health plan, we recognize our role as environmental stewards and are committed to improving the health of our members, associates and community.  

Our corporate sustainability strategy, [email protected] is an all hands, company-wide approach to reduce our environmental impact, catalyze environmental justice, and educate and empower our stakeholders with accurate, accessible information about how our environment impacts our health.

[email protected] is rooted in our climate action goals.

  • Carbon neutral by 2030
  • Zero waste by 2030

Our sustainability initiatives include:

[email protected] Company Gardens

We’re proud to engage our associates in our sustainability efforts through our [email protected] programs. Each year, more than 150 associates participate in our company gardens, attending garden workshops and harvesting over 5,000 lbs. of produce with help from our community partner, The Trustees.

Bluebikes

As the title sponsor of the Bluebikes, we’re committed to expanding public bike sharing in MetroBoston as a safe and sustainable public transportation option. Since 2018, we’ve doubled the size of the system by adding 200 stations and 4,000 bikes.

Community solar

We support five community solar farms in Hopedale and Mendon. These projects have increased the amount of solar generated power in Massachusetts by 13% and reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 6,300 metric tons, the equivalent of taking 1,300 cars off the road.
