Water Stewardship

Vichaivej International Hospital Group manages water responsibly through efficient use, water reuse, and wastewater treatment, with transparent disclosure of water performance and wastewater quality to support sustainable healthcare operations. 

Water is essential to hospital operations, from patient care and hygiene to facility management and operational continuity. Vichaivej International Hospital Group therefore treats water stewardship as a core part of its environmental management approach, with a focus on efficient water use, system maintenance, water reuse, and proper wastewater treatment before discharge.  

This approach reflects the Group’s commitment to using natural resources responsibly while maintaining high standards of healthcare service delivery. 

2025 Water Performance at a Glance 

In 2025, the Group reported the following key water performance indicators:

• Net water consumption: 27,253 cubic meters

• Recycled water usage: 2,590.44 cubic meters

• Total wastewater volume: 109,012 cubic meters

• Wastewater treatment: 100% treated prior to discharge

• Effluent BOD: 8.9662475

These figures show that the Group is not only tracking water consumption, but also monitoring reuse and wastewater quality as part of a more complete water management system. 

Using Water More Efficiently 

The Group’s water stewardship approach focuses on using water in line with operational needs, while reducing unnecessary consumption and increasing the value derived from each unit of water used. Recycled water is incorporated where appropriate to reduce reliance on new water inputs and improve overall resource efficiency.  

For a healthcare business, this is not just about reducing consumption. It is about ensuring that water is managed in a way that supports patient safety, environmental responsibility, and long-term operational resilience. 

Wastewater Quality Matters 

A key strength of the Group’s disclosure is that it goes beyond reporting water use and also addresses wastewater treatment performance. In 2025, 100% of wastewater was treated prior to discharge, and the Group disclosed its effluent BOD level as an indicator of wastewater treatment effectiveness.

This strengthens the credibility of the Group’s environmental disclosure by showing that water stewardship is supported by measurable operational data, not just policy statements.

Vichaivej International Hospital Group’s water stewardship approach combines resource efficiency, water reuse, and wastewater quality control in a way that is both practical and measurable. In 2025, the Group reported 27,253 cubic meters of net water consumption, 2,590.44 cubic meters of recycled water use, and 100% wastewater treatment prior to discharge, while also disclosing effluent BOD transparently.
