ESG no setor da radioterapia: uma análise bibliométrica da radioterapia sustentável

Abstract

Given the pressing need for change and the implementation of sustainable activities by all, the UN has established a global strategic pact with its 193 Member States, aiming to reduce negative impacts such as pollutant gases causing the greenhouse effect, extreme poverty in underdeveloped countries, lack of basic sanitation, among other issues. Based on the premise of how public and private organizations are contributing to sustainable development in the health sector, specifically in radiotherapy, this study conducted a search in the scientific literature and, through a bibliographic analysis, gathered several articles on action plans aimed at sustainable development practices. The analysis involved searching for articles in the literature and constructing a summary framework containing the articles that contributed to the development of this thesis, with the goal of encouraging future research and contributing to the scientific literature. The research found effective measures being adopted worldwide regarding the reduction of pollutant gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2, the modernization of linear accelerators, which ensure more effective treatments while reducing energy consumption, and the encouragement of public and private organizations in the construction of infrastructure and the acquisition of treatment equipment in underdeveloped countries, which lack more effective public health policies. The main propagation and awareness of these strategies occur through marketing, which promotes social actions for change and co-creates values and activities among stakeholders
